"Never Seen In Career": Sunil Chhetri Reacts After His Goal Led To Kerala Blasters' Controversial Walkout In ISL
A huge controversy erupted in the Indian Super League on Friday as Kerala Blasters forfeited their playoff match against Bengaluru FC after a goal by Sunil Chhetri from a free-kick towards the dying minuted of the play. After a goalless stalemate during regulation time at the Kanteerava Stadium, Bengaluru FC took a 97th minute lead when the talismanic Indian captain converted a free-kick. But the strike led to a full blown drama as the Adrian Luna-led side protested referee Crystal John's decision to declare it a legitimate goal, with counter-claims that he did not blow the whistle before Chhetri took the kick and the players were not ready.
