​

Ten-man Bengaluru mounted a stupendous comeback to secure a 4-2 win over Mohun Bagan in the semi-finals of the Indian Super Cup on Tuesday.

Forward, Miku's scored a sublime hat-trick post Bagan's opener from Dika and ensured BFC safe passage into the final where they will meet East Bengal. Sunil ended the match with a stunning goal from range. Here are the major talking points from tonight's entertaining clash.

#1 Yuta Kinowaki turns on the style for Bagan

Mohun Bagan started today's game positively, springing passes right and left from minute one. Their players weren't afraid to keep the ball and at the heart of their attacks was Yuta Kinowaki.

The Japanese midfielder was ever so calm in the middle of the park. He positioned himself around the centre circle and orchestrated his teams attacks all day long. Displaying clever feet, he never let Bengaluru's players harry him off the ball and shielded it extremely well. His last minute feigns were a delight to watch.

Every now and then, Kinowaki drifted deep into his half when starved off possession. Without him in the thick of things, Bagan lacked the fluidity when venturing forward. Yuta kept it simple and was alert throughout the game.
