The Indian Super League final, might not have been the football extravaganza that people might have expected, but it was passionate, intense and entertaining. 120 minutes of football couldn’t separate the two sides, and on we went to the personification of a lottery with the penalties, and Cedric Hengbart who was arguably the best player in the game, missed the decisive penalty.
