BFC attack was the beginning of it all. Sunil Chettri, who had just come in as a substitute, was sent racing down the right flank amid loud accusations of offside from the Blasters’ bench. After some back and forth, the move continued, only coming to an end when Chhetri was hauled down just outside the penalty area in the middle of the field. Chaos followed.

Bengaluru FC vs Kerala Blasters: Huge controversy in ISL Playoffs, frustrated with refereeing…

The Blasters defence formed a wall while the referee remained on the spot pointing it out. Chhetri looked up at the referee as the Blasters goalie, who was standing far from his line and attempting to set up the shot, appeared to have a hushed conversation before attempting the kick. F Everyone watched in complete stillness as the ball slowly flew into the net. To say it was contentious would be an understatement, but what followed was some of the most spectacular scenes this nation has ever seen in high-level athletics.

Ivan Vukomanovic, the enraged Blasters manager, entered the field and began arguing with John. Vukomanovic led the squad straight off the field and onto the pitch as a result of this and the referee’s conviction that he had made the proper call.

Bengaluru FC vs Kerala Blasters FC: WATCH BIG CONTROVERSY in ISL Playoffs, Kerala…

This occurred at about minute 100. Bengaluru remained on the pitch for the final 20 minutes while officials unsuccessfully attempted to talk with the Blasters team. Bengaluru won their elimination match, but not even Sunil Chhetri could have anticipated an outcome this dramatic. Yet the cost of it all was that his relatively spotless career was marred. The Football fans and fraternity took to Twitter to express their discontent over the goal and the scorer.

Let me say how it goes. Since its Sunil Chhetri it’s all fair. Captain Leader Legend and no one will talk about that. I don’t even care if we get banned for that bit take that stand against it.

However, Sunil Cheetri gave a fitting reply to the hatred, explaining how and why his decision of the goal justified not only the rules but his sports =man spirit as well. He stated following the game: “Referee asked me if I wanted the wall or the whistle. They always do it. I said that I don’t want the whistle as well as the wall. I think Luna also heard it and and blocked once but then he turned and I had the opening.”
