Atletico de Kolkata became the first team to ever win the Indian Super League twice after defeating Kerala Blasters 4-3 on penalties. Earlier 120 minutes of football could not separate the two sides as Mohammed Rafi gave the Blasters the lead, only for Henrique Sereno to equalise for ATK soon after.
Cedric Hengbart and Elhadji Ndoye missed their penalties for Kerala, while Jewel Raja scored the pivotal penalty to win it for Atletico de Kolkata.
