The referee blows his whistle signalling the end of extra time, and with that, the Indian Super League final between ATK Mohun Bagan and Bengaluru FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda, Goa goes into a penalty shootout!

Both teams survived penalties in the semis, and will look to channel that experience heading into the final act of the summit clash.

119’ ATKMB 2-2 BFC

Mohun Bagan nearly score a second at the hour mark! Ambitious shot towards the BFC woodwork by Colaco from outside the box, with Sandhu managing to glove it away towards his right — straight to Petratos, who ends up spraying it wide of the right post after getting an absolute gift of an opportunity.

That was the culmination of a couple of spirited charges into the Bengaluru box by the Mariners.

HT: ATKMB 1-1 BFC

GOAL! Sunil Chhetri fires in the ball past Golden Glove winner Vishal Kaith as Bengaluru FC find the equaliser in the dying seconds of the first half of the ISL 2022-23 final against ATK Mohun Bagan! BFC have finally been rewarded for their persistence, having dominated possession in the first half.

Looks like we’re in for a cracker of a second half, which shall begin shortly.

45+3’ ATKMB 1-0 BFC

Referee Kundu points to the spot for a second time today, this time in favour of Bengaluru FC after a rash tackle by Subhashish inside the box! And it’s their talisman Sunil Chhetri who gears up for what could be the equaliser!

45’ ATKMB 1-0 BFC

Three minutes have been added to stoppage time after the clock hits the 45-minute mark. The Mariners, meanwhile, make another foray into the Bengaluru third in the dying minutes of the first half, but are unable to get it past Sandhu.

39’ ATKMB 1-0 BFC

Manvir has a shy at the Bengaluru goalpost from inside the box, but ends up spraying it too high. A second goal before the halftime whistle would’ve well and truly put ATKMB in the driver’s seat.

Meanwhile, referee Haris Kundu has made some bookings so far, issuing yellow cards to the BFC trio of Prabir Das (31’), Roshan Naorem (37’) and Sunil Chhetri (38’).

35’ ATKMB 1-0 BFC

Quite the animated discussion between the Bengaluru FC players and the ref after the latter decides against awarding a penalty to the team in whites following a rash challenge by Pritam Kotal on Roy Krishna inside the box in which the ATKMB captain appeared to have kicked the Fijian striker on the right foot. Chhetri is especially unhappy with the referee’s decision.

Another 10 minutes to go for the halftime whistle, and Bengaluru’s search for the equaliser continues.

Here’s Petrators putting the Mariners ahead early in the game

25’ ATKMB 1-0 BFC

Excellent save by ATKMB custodian Kaith, diving to his right to keep the ball from going into the net after a free kick by Hernandez, who manages to get a fair bit of curve on the shot. Soon after, we have a Bengaluru corner, in which Jhingan heads the ball wide of target.

24’ ATKMB 1-0 BFC

Spirited run into the ATKMB final third by Sunil Chhetri, who started the game on the bench. Just when the veteran Indian striker is gearing up to challenge opposition goalkeeper Vishal Kaith, he is thwarted by ATKMB captain Pritam Kotal.

14’ ATKMB 1-0 BFC

GOAL! Petrators scores from the spot, beating BFC keeper Sandhu even though he moved in the right direction, as ATKMB — seeking their maiden title — break the deadlock in the 15th minute!

The ref points to the spot early on, and this could be the lucky break that ATK Mohun Bagan were looking for! Dimitrios Petrators gears up to take the kick with Bengaluru goalkeeper Gurpreet getting ready in front of the post.

3’ ATKMB 0-0 BFC

We have the first substitution of the game with BFC veteran Sunil Chhetri coming in minutes after kickoff after Siva Salthi suffers a nasty knock and is stretchered off with a bloody nose after colliding with a couple of ATKMB players.
