Sunil Chhetri-led Bengaluru FC registered a 0-0 draw against April 25 SC in second leg at the Rungrado 1st of May Stadium here on Wednesday to book a berth in the inter-zonal final of the AFC Cup.
The Albert Roca-managed side held the North Koreans to a goalless draw, helping their side advance in the inter-zonal final with a 3-0 aggregate, from their first leg victory at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru.
