#3 The Hero Indian Super Cup

BFC celebrating the Super Cup victory

The defeat in the finals of the ISL to Chennaiyin FC did hurt the team, but they went to Bhubaneshwar for the Super Cup with a changed mindset. In spite of the I-League getting over months before the Super Cup, there was very little time between the ISL and the Super Cup and BFC's AFC Cup commitments. Roca never complained about the schedule, rotated his squad perfectly and the results were fruitful.

In the scorching heat of Bhubaneshwar, BFC played with a different intensity. In most of the games when the opposition looked tired, BFC stepped up their game. They made a comeback against Gokulam Kerala, Mohun Bagan, and East Bengal in the final, with most of the goals coming in the last half an hour of the games.

They beat East Bengal 4-1 in the final, with Sunil Chhetri scoring a brace, Miku and Rahul Bheke scoring one goal each.

The Super-Cup was the result of tremendous hard-work throughout the season. They were the table toppers in the ISL but missed out in the final to Chennaiyin FC. The victory in the inaugural Super Cup marked the fifth trophy for BFC in five five years and also Albert Roca's second in as many years.

It also marked the end of the Indian football season for the team, and they ended the season on a high. Albert Roca's magic had started to conquer Indian football, but no knew what was coming in the future.
