Bengaluru FC and Kerala Blasters were playing in the first knockout round of the ISL 2022-23 season, and there was drama as KBFC coach Ivan Vukomanovic pulls his team after the referee recognises a controversial goal from Sunil Chhetri.
The game was tied at 0 at the end of regulation.
As the Kerala Blasters wall was being organised by goalie Prabhsukhan Gill during extra time, Bengaluru FC received a free kick just outside the box. Sunil Chhetri then struck the ball into the goal, which referee Crystal John recognised.
Vukomanovic deemed the situation intolerable and asked his players to leave the field in protest because it was unclear whether the referee had blown the whistle.
