South Zone: Bengaluru FC v TC Sports Club

Bengaluru FC, the 2016 runners-up, claimed a narrow 3-2 win over TC Sports Club in the first leg, with Haokip Thongkhosiem scoring the decisive goal in the 78th minute to stop the Maldivians a late revival.

Bengaluru FC will have the upper hand on Tuesday, thanks to their first leg exploits, but there is no doubt that TC Sports will be up for the challenge.

The winners of the South Zone Play-off will join Aizawl FC, New Radiant and Abahani Limited Dhaka in Group E.
