Lavanya Upadhyay cut in from the left flank and struck beautifully into the top right corner to make it 1-0.Following the break, Misaka United started on the stronger foot. They came close to doubling their lead in the 48th minute when substitute Lucy Jira went all by herself following a darting solo run from the middle of the park. However, East Bengal goalkeeper Keisham Melody Chanu managed to save the on-target shot and keep her side in the game.At the hour mark, Lucy almost scored a screamer from outside the box. The Kenyan forward latched onto a loose ball, but the East Bengal custodian managed to tip it onto the crossbar as the ball fell back into play.On the other side, the Red and Gold Brigade kept pushing for an equaliser. Their efforts finally paid dividends in the 70th minute when substitute Singo Murmu capitalised on an error from the Misaka United defence. Goalkeeper Nurul struggled to save the forward's powerful grounded shot as the ball trickled into the back of the net to make it 1-1.In the 86th minute, Lavanya Upadhyay had a golden opportunity to win it for Misaka United when she found a loose ball inside the box with just the goalkeeper at her disposal.
