As a result East Bengal attackers, most notably Tolgay and Robin, are getting too much space to make one attack after another. It's surprising how the score has remained at 1-0.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>59':</strong> Only a superb one-handed acrobatic save from AIFF keeper could deny Robin his second of the day. What a save!</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>62':</strong> Tolgay, who is extremely fleet-footed for a man of his strong built, beautifully controls a long ball, dodges two defenders, and fires a right footed shot, but the shot is blocked.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>65':</strong> Finally the ball moves to the other end of the pitch and AIFF get a corner, which is well handled by the defenders. </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>67':</strong> Jagrup again comes to his teams rescue and denies Tolgay with a good save. </span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>69': GOAAAAAAL!</strong> Penn makes it 2-0 for East Bengal. The game is as good as over, as it will be very difficult for AIFF to come back from two goals down.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>74': GOAAAAAAL!</strong> What a goal by Robin Singh. After collecting a pass from Tolgay, Robin beats two defenders and fires a rocket from the right in the far corner. The keeper had no chance. <strong>East Bengal 3-0 AIFF.</strong></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>79': GOAAAAAAL! </strong>East Bengal are just toying with the opposition now. It was two on one with the goal keeper and Tolgay makes no mistake. <strong>East Bengal 4-0 AIFF</strong>.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>81':</strong> It's safe to say that without an inspired show by Jagrup, this well could have turned into a cricket score by now. Again he denies Tolgay.
