A masterclass from Braian Sanchez propelled Bengaluru FC to a convincing 3-1 win over Inter Kashi in their Indian Super League clash. Playing at the Kishore Bharati Krirangan, the visitors relied on a dominant second-half display to secure three vital points and climb to fourth in the league standings.
The match began with high energy as Bengaluru’s Ashique Kuruniyan broke the deadlock in the 20th minute. After dispossessing the opposition captain, Kuruniyan unleashed a powerful strike to put his side ahead. However, Inter Kashi refused to back down before the break. Alfred Planas found the equalizer in the 38th minute, sending both teams into the locker rooms tied at 1-1.
The second half belonged entirely to Sanchez. The turning point arrived in the 69th minute when he capitalized on a goalkeeping blunder to head the ball home, restoring Bengaluru’s lead. While Inter Kashi fought desperately to find another equalizer, their efforts were thwarted by a disciplined Bengaluru defense. Deep into stoppage time, Sanchez struck again from long range following another defensive error, putting the result beyond doubt.
Named Player of the Match, Sanchez was the difference-maker in a contest that saw Bengaluru look increasingly organized as the clock ticked down. While the win boosts Bengaluru’s hopes for a top-tier finish, the defeat leaves Inter Kashi struggling near the bottom of the table. Fans are already looking forward to seeing if Bengaluru can maintain this winning momentum in their next fixture.
