The defender’s header in the 116th minute helps the side beat FC Goa and clinch its maiden title
Rahul Bheke broke rival goalkeeper Naveen Kumar’s heart with a surprise extratime header off a corner kick as Bengaluru FC sneaked home by a 1-0 margin in the final of the Indian Super League here on Sunday.
Naveen’s electrifying performance under the bar came to nought in the 116th minute of extra-time and the title clash slipped towards the tie-breaker.
Goa, reeling from the blow of losing Ahmed Jahouh to a second yellow card offence after outstretching his feet following a tumble and striking Miku’s belly.
Bengaluru pressed for the match-winner but faced stiff resistance till the Goa defence took a breather as Dimas Delgado got ready for a corner kick.
