During the ISL playoff match between Bengaluru FC and Kerala Blasters, the Blasters boycotted the game during the extra time of the match. It all erupted after Bengaluru FC, the home side took the lead from a free-kick goal.

After the match ended goalless in 90 minutes, it went to extra time. Sunil Chhetri scored the goal and gave Bengaluru the lead in the 97th minute from a free-kick. And after that, the Blasters team just walked out off the pitch, leaving the Bengaluru side baffled. They boycotted the match and later forfeited as Bengaluru were awarded the win.

The Kerala Blasters official Twitter handle then made a tweet writing, “Still trying to figure out when the referee whistled or marked the distance of the wall.”

ISL Controversy: What happened between Kerala Blasters and Bengaluru FC?

The Kerala Blasters team walked away in protest of the referee’s decision that allowed Sunil Chhetri’s goal. During the free-kick, the Manjappada were still setting their wall, when Chhetri suddenly took the shot and scored beyond the keeper, who was far off from his line.

The Kerala players surrounded the referee in protest but the official stuck to his decision and allowed the goal. As a consequence, the Kerala manager Ivan Vukomanovic called his players to come off the pitch and they left the pitch after that.
