Johor Bahru (Malaysia), Sep 28: India midfielder Eugeneson Lyngdoh scored a crucial goal as I-League champions Bengaluru FC held Malaysia's Johor Darul Tazim 1-1 in the away first leg match of their Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Cup semi-final here on Wednesday (Sep 28).
Lyngdoh scored in the 56th minute, just four minutes after going behind to a Pererya Dia strike for the Malaysia's reigning champions at the Larkin Stadium.
Bengaluru will host the second-leg at the Kanteerava stadium on October 19.
Bengaluru were a far cry from the side that surrendered 0-3 at the same ground in the group stage in May, as their high-pressing game unnerved the hosts in the first half.
