Dimas Delgado and Erik Paartalu have been key to Bengaluru's success with set-pieces....
Bengaluru FC concluded the league phase of the Indian Super League (ISL) with 22 goals in 18 games, a mere ratio of 1.2 goals per game. In their debut ISL season, the Blues managed 40 goals, with no other team scoring over 32.
With problems in the final third, the rest of the departments had to step up to get the results. The defence tightened up at the back, conceding just 13 goals and keep 10 clean sheets. The two men at the centre of the park – Erik Paartalu and Dimas Delgado – have played their part, making it their onus to supply Bengaluru with a good number of goal-scoring opportunities, especially on the dead ball.
