Gerard Zaragoja-Coched side now has 34 points from 21 games, while highlanders are fifth with 32 points.
Bangalore created strong speed from the beginning, grabbed the ball, and easily entered the Highlanders defense. He picked up the ball, broadcast it from the center to the flanks and made a blank space inside the Northeast United Defense.
The entire frontline and midfield, descending at the center of the box in the third minute with Ryan Williams, distracted from their normal role, where he widen to achieve lateral delivery inside the penalty region.
Alberto Noguera came on the back of a brace against Jamshedpur FC, pulled a sleek pass for Williams and later killed it in the lower left corner to quickly open the scoring.
The domestic side fought courtesing Aladdin Azarai in the 18th minute, which was served a probing cross by Redeem Talang. The striker posted in the heart of the penalty box created a Thamping header, which was rescued by Lalthumamavia Ralte in the high center of the target.
Talang continued to play an important role in Bangalore FC Final Third, serving a pass for Falguni Singh at a distance in the 31st minute. Falguni trusted his instinct from outside the box, but his shot was free as it landed up to the left and wide on the left side of the target.
Blues took vengeance almost immediately as they used to hit Highlanders on a sharp brake as the step was about creating a major pass for Noguera outside the 18-yard area with Pedro Capo. Noguera also reiterated Falguni’s effort with an ambitious shot which turned away from the right post.
The second part of the match began with the same pattern as exchanges from back and forth, as the two teams fought to find their rhythm to claim their gameplay.
Northeast United shook things a little, in which Nestter Albiach also felt its presence in the last third. Thoi Singh served in an excellent cross, which Nester did well to direct the target, but Ralte was still well placed to bring his palm into line and save the effort from going in.
The home side further provoked all its options, in which goalkeeper Gurmeet Singh adopted a long ball outlook for Hurl in direct delivery for Azarai. The striker could enter the box, but he tried an out-of-the-box instead, which could not hit the target, was swinging to the right instead.
Bengaluru FC extended the number to find the second target that could provide them with greater protection in the last few minutes of the encounter. This led to a scuffle situation inside the Northeast United Box as visitors struggled to catch the ball.
However, Highlanders wore an equally chaotic look and Noguera lying on a loose ball in the center of the box with his left leg to drill in the left corner and get another strike in the 81st minute. Furious for, giving the side a safety trap.
Bangalore FC saw the rest of the competition to keep its second consecutive clean sheet and keep one and three points bags.
