East Bengal’s win over Nejmeh SC earlier in the day ended any remaining hopes Paro had of taking second spot and with the pressure off, both teams threw caution to the wind.

Bashundhara were the first to find the target, Foysal Fahim was put through on the left in the 12th minute before finding Valerii Hryshyn in the middle for a simple finish.

Parity was restored in the 23rd minute when Nima Wangdi controlled Kezang Dorji’s cross, beat Isaiah Ejeh before slamming a low shot past Mehdi Hassan.

The end-to-end action continued in the second half with Paro taking the lead in the 54th minute when Koki Narita’s low cross was bundled into his own net by Jasur Jumaev.

Milos Kupic pulled off a stunning save to deny Miguel Ferreira in the 68th minute after the Brazilian’s free-kick looked destined for the top corner before the Bashundhara midfielder hit the post eight minutes later.

Bashundhara put Paro under tremendous pressure in the remaining minutes but the hosts stood firm to end their campaign with a win.
