Bengaluru: Sunil Chhetri believes clinical counter-attacking and solid defence work was behind JSW Bengaluru’s 3-0 AFC Cup Inter-Zone semi-final victory over DPR Korea’s 4.25 SC on Wednesday night.
South Asian Zone champions Bengaluru went into the game with a perfect home record in the continental competition, having won three from three, but faced a 4.25 who themselves had been crowned East Asian Zone champions after winning Group I back in May.
But, after soaking up the pressure in the first half hour at a saturated Sree Kanteerava Stadium, Chhetri opened the scoring with a 'Panenka’ from the spot, before his chip to the back post allowed Lenny Rodrigues to add a crucial third with 12 minutes remaining.
