After Blasters dominated the possession and chances in the first period, it was Hyderabad who began strongly after the restart.

Both sides were taking no prisoners straight from kick-off. Tempers flared as Sandeep Singh lunged in on Hyderabad's Mohammed Yashir earning a yellow card.

Hyderabad also had the chance to win it as Ogbeche beat Gill in the 110th minute only for Marko Leskovic to clear off the line.
