A brilliant Nishu Kumar (7') strike secured three points for Bengaluru FC against Hyderabad at the Kanteerava Stadium on Thursday,
Bengaluru started the game on the front foot and wasted no time in taking the lead. Dimas Delgado's delivery from the corner was directed at an unmarked Nishu at the edge of the Hyderabad box. The full-back hit it clean on the half-volley to stun Hyderabad custodian Kaxmikant Kattimani and rattle the back of the net.
The visitors' response to going down was quite positive with Nikhil Poojary looking bright in the final third. The youngster was allowed too much space when he tested Gurpreet Singh Sandhu just two minutes after Nishu's goal.
