A
controversial
Sunil
Chhetri
goal
from
a
quick
free
kick
in
extra
time
helped
Bengaluru
FC
edge
Kerala
Blasters
in
knockout
1
to
book
their
semifinal
berth
against
Mumbai
City
FC,
who

Final,
where
they
could
face
the
winner
of
the

Bagan.
While
the
first
leg

also
the
third
best
defensive
side,
letting
in
only
21
goals
in
20
matches.
Jorge
Pereyra
Diaz

but
conceded
none.

Head-To-Head
The

Semifinal
1st
Leg
Prediction
Well-rested
and
confident
Mumbai
City
FC
start
favourites
especially
at
home,
but
they
will
be
wary
of
a
robust
Bengaluru
FC,
who
are
unbeaten
in
the
last
nine,
including
the
knockout
match
and
the
league
stage
match
against
the
league
shield
winners.
MCFC,
however,
will
a
wide-range
of
options
in
attack
to
try
and
breakdown
the
stubborn
BFC
defence.
