Glen stepped up to take the penalty and made no mistake in earning the equalising goal for Lajong.

Lajong had gained a lot of momentum and could have taken the lead.

But Mohun Bagan were not ready to give up.

In the 74th minute, Left back Dhanachandra Singh made a beautiful cross into the box and found Japanese Katsumi Yusa unmarked and he headed the ball past the keeper.

The game was proving to be a filled with goals as both teams had a lot of chances to score more goals.
