Bartholomew Ogbeche performed a hat-trick to help Hyderabad FC crush East Bengal 4-0 in an Indian Super League fixture at the Tilak Maidan Stadium, Vasco, on Monday and move to the top of the table. Aniket Jadhav scored the other goal.
SC EB made a couple of costly errors in the first half, allowing HFC to score twice. Hyderabad coach Manolo Marquez, aware of SC EB’s shaky defence, employed two of his best attackers: experienced Nigerian Bartholomew Ogbeche and young Spaniard Javier Siverio.
The Indian trio of Nikhil Poojary, Hitesh Sharma, Akash Mishra and Aniket Jadhav was at the forefront of the attacks on the flanks as Hyderabad made numerous forays into the SC EB box.
