A five-goal thriller saw Bengaluru FC heading into the ISL Finals.

Bengaluru FC have made it to their fourth ISL Finals after Sunil Chhetri scored a header in the dying seconds of the game. FC Goa had a big mountain to climb as they were two goals down in the first 90 minutes. However, they had the support of the home fans to back them.

The Blues held their defence tightly in the first half. However, a free-kick goal from Borja completely shifted the momentum in the Gaurs’ favour. Sadiku scored a last-minute equaliser. It seemed as if the match was going into extra time but Chhetri’s header sent shockwaves across Fatorda and Bengaluru stormed their way into the ISL Finals.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to Bengaluru FC’s win over FC Goa.

It was at exactly this end of the pitch that Mendoza scored late to break Goan hearts in 2015 and now almost 10 years later Sunil Chhetri does it to end Goa's dreams. Something about Goa, the nearly men of the ISL, just something about them in big knockout games and heartbreaks.
