East Bengal were held to a 2-2 draw by Jordan's Al Hussein in their AFC Champions League Two opener in Amman on Wednesday. The Indian Super League champions took a 2-0 lead by halftime through goals from Dani Ramirez in the 9th minute and Anwar Ali in the 40th.
However, Al Hussein fought back in the second half. Captain Mahmoud Al Mardi scored a curling goal to make it 2-1, and substitute Ahmad Assaf equalised in the 87th minute with a finish from a cross by Obeida Al Namarneh. East Bengal had to settle for a point from their first group-stage match.
