As the Indian Super League (ISL) 2023 enters the climax stage, Bengaluru FC is the most in-form team. After missing the knockout rounds in the previous two seasons, the 2018-19 Hero ISL champions won their last eight league games to qualify for the playoffs finally. The Giant Killers got better of Mumbai City FC and Kerala Blasters to reach so far.

Bengaluru FC signed quality players such as Roy Krishna, Sandesh Jhingan, Javi Hernandez, and Prabir Das at the start of the season. Simon Grayson’s side began the season with a bang, winning the Durand Cup, but had a difficult start to the Hero ISL, collecting only ten points from their first 12 games.

ISL Finals: Team on a MISSION, After POOR Start, Bengaluru FC go on…

Despite not being at their best, ATK Mohun Bagan have qualified for the Hero Indian Super League (ISL) playoffs for the third season in a row. The Mariners have 34 points this season, which is their lowest total since the previous two seasons, when they narrowly missed out on the League Winners’ Shield and the Hero ISL title.

ATK Mohun Bagan have been plagued by injury issues and inconsistency. They have only scored 12 goals in their last 15 games. They have, however, made it to the knockout stages once more thanks to an excellent start to the season and their strong defensive line, which has been the side’s core strength. They defeated defending Champions hyderbad FC in penalties to set up final date.

The Mariners won their fifth game of the season and maintained their positive momentum. The first half began with BFC creating a couple of excellent chances but failing to capitalise. ATK Mohun Bagan’s pace on both flanks began to trouble the BFC defence once they found their groove. However, they were unable to make a breakthrough in the first half. They started the second half on the front foot, and Dimitri Petratos scored a brilliant goal to put them ahead. Bengaluru FC attempted to regain control of the game and had a golden opportunity, but Siva Narayanan was denied by the crossbar. ATK Mohun Bagan held their lead well and finished the game without incident.

The rematch saw late goals, and what had been goalless until the 78th minute ended in a 2-1 final score. Javier Hernandez scored with an excellent left-footed volley in the 78th minute, and Roy Krishna followed suit with an easy tap-in in the 90th. They appeared to have won easily, but Dimitri Petratos scored a long-range screamer after a minute, giving ATKMB hope. They didn’t have much time after the goal, though, and BFC held on for the rest of the game.

With the teams going almost head to head in both the fixtures, narrowly edging at the offensive third, it will be an affair to see how a neutral ground challenges them. While ATK Mohun Bgan will need to work on their finishing, Bengaluru FC will need to make sure they do not let the mariners exploit their lack of transitioning.
