ISL 2020-21 Awards: Igor Angulo wins Golden Boot, Roy Krishna bags Golden Ball
FC Goa striker Igor Angulo won the Golden Boot as the 2020-21 season of the Indian Super League (ISL) came to an end. The Spaniard also received a cash prize of ₹2,50,000.
Angulo scored 14 goals in 21 matches and pipped ATK Mohun Bagan's Roy Krishna for the award. Both of them scored the same number of goals. However, the former averaged a goal per 117.5 minutes while the latter needed 147.3 minutes for the same.
According to the ISL rules, when two players find the net the same number of times, the one who averages fewer minutes to score a goal, wins the Golden Boot award.
Krishna, however, won the Golden Ball award for being the most consistent player throughout the ISL season. The Fijian scored 14 goals and bagged 8 assists in 23 matches for ATK Mohun Bagan. He also received a cash prize of ₹5,00,000 for his efforts.
