An own-goal decided the fate of East Bengal's clash against NorthEast United at the Tilak Maidan on Saturday.
Surchandra Singh got the last touch off a strike from Idrissa Sylla in the 33rd minute that found the net and it helped the Highlanders secure their second win of the season.
Gerard Nus made five changes to the NorthEast United lineup that managed a 1-1 draw against FC Goa in their last match. Gurmeet Singh, Ashutosh Mehta, Mashoor Shereef, Kwesi Appiah and Ninthoingamba Meetei replaced Subhasish Roy Chowdhury, Provat Lakra, Dylan Fox, Fanai Larempuia and Britto PM.
