In the most extreme case, FC Goa where taking on Atletico de Kolkata and a heated first half saw both teams indulge in taunting and sledging one another.

Atletico de Kolkata Fikru apparently head-butted Gregory Arnolin of FC Goa in the match. Fikru, along with coach Antonio Habas, where caught in a heated situation with Robert Pires in the tunnel after the match. The ugly fight in the tunnel had an alleged punch from Habas on Pires. The ISL Governing Council took strict action against all three parties involved and they received bans.
