The 2015 champions got off to a winning start in this season’s continental competition by defeating Persija 3-0 in front of home support in February to set the early pace in Group H.

But the Malaysian side then picked up just one point from two games against Vietnam’s Song Lam Nghe An and Singapore’s Tampines Rovers, before getting back to winning ways with a 2-1 win over Tampines in mid-March.

Playing amidst rainy conditions in Guwahati, it was Aizawl who made the breakthrough as early as the fifth minute. The goal came after a bit of good fortune, as the ball ricocheted in off the shin of Aizawl's Ivorian striker Leonce Dodoz after a clearance from Bengaluru goalkeeper Lalthuammawia Ralte.

Bengaluru looked to get back on level terms straightaway, with both Erik Paartalu and Victor Perez coming close to equalising for Albert Roca's side only to see their efforts sail over the crossbar.

At the stroke of half-time, Bengaluru finally got the goal they needed. Daniel Segovia coolly slotted home his first goal for the club from a penalty that was awarded after Dodoz handled the ball in the box.

After the restart, Segovia was given the opportunity to put his side in the lead in the 53rd minute, when Bengaluru were awarded another spot-kick for a foul on Subhashish Bose. This time, however, the Spanish striker's effort crashed off the post and went out.

Fortunately for Bengaluru, they took the lead 10 minutes later through Rahul Bheke, who headed in Alwyn George's teasing cross. The visitors then went 3-1 up in the 77th minute, when substitute Daniel Lalhlimpuia sent a low strike past Aizawl custodian Avilash Paul.

The two teams have home games coming up on Matchday Three, with Bengaluru hosting New Radiant of Maldives, while Aizawl play Bangladesh's Abahani Limited Dhaka.

Persija went into the Group H game at Gelora Bung Karno Stadium three points behind their opponents with three games to play, before creating chance upon chance in what proceeded to be an onslaught onto the visiting goal.

The hosts ultimately managed to keep pace in Group D, but could have saved themselves plenty of hassle with greater concentration at both ends of the pitch.
