Bengaluru FC have now won five major trophies in five years with today's 4-1 win over East Bengal in the Super Cup Final. The Blues go home 25 Lakhs rupees richer and a positive end to the season.
East Bengal on the other hand against all odds such as Internal Club Politics went as far as the Super Cup Final, something many would have never predicted.
Sportskeeda looks at how all the players performed for their sided in this historic clash.
Bengaluru FC
Bengaluru's second half brilliance continued as they bounced back from being down in the first half to a comprehensive performance in the second half.
Miku and Chhetri scored today to tame East Bengal with ease.
Gurpreet Singh Sandhu (7/10) : Sandhu was barely tested and was up to the task on the few occasions when East Bengal looked dangerous. However, he seemed little nervous in few instances in the first half. He came out mindlessly and was given a lucky escape early in the first half, with just a yellow card instead of a potential red card.
Juanan (8/10) : Juanan cut off any supply from the right to keep East Bengal strikers in check.
John Johnson (8.5/10) : Johnson marked Kromah heavily and didn't give any space for the African to exploit.
Subhasish Bose (7.5/10) : The Left Back had a decent game but was constantly taken on for a ride by Laldanmawia Ralte. Bose was well beaten on pace by Ralte on several occasions.
Rahul Bheke (8/10) : Bheke equalized for BFC late in the first half, allowing BFC to grow into confidence. His performance at the right was a big obstacle for Katsumi Yusa. His long throws were also threatening for East Bengal.
Lenny Rodrigues (7/10) : Rodrigues was not effective in the midfield as he gave away possession way too cheaply.
Erik Paartalu (8.5/10) : Paartalu's height allowed Bengaluru to test East Bengal with aerial balls from corners and crosses. Paartalu was also responsible to keep off all the corners of East Bengal except the one ending up in the back of the net.
Victor Perez (7.5/10) : Perez missed a sitter in the first half and was also a disappointment during attacks down the pitch.
Udanta Singh (7.5/10) : Udanta had a tough day in the office as his pace and agility were kept in check by Lalramchullova. His crosses were also not as accurate as they usually are in other matches.
Miku (8.5/10) : Miku was kept fairly quiet in the first half until the floodgates opened in the second half. His calm and cheeky finish put Bengaluru 1-3 ahead. He was a constant threat for East Bengal throughout the game.
Chhetri (9/10) : Chhetri's spot-kick put Bengaluru FC ahead. He scored his second moments before the full-time whistle with a header to put the game to bed.
SUBSTITUTES
Toni Dovale (7.5/10) : The substitutes delivered in some good lobbed balls but could not create much of an impact in terms of exploiting the depleted East Bengal defence in the second half.
Boithang Haokip (N/A)
Daniel Lalhlimpuia (N/A)
East Bengal
East Bengal was looking good in the first half but after being reduced to 10-men, they seldom looked at their best. The Red and Golds never looked like they wanted to win the game in the second half.
Ubaid CK (7.5/10) : Ubaid pulled off few good saves but was often nervy with holding the ball. He almost conceded a goal, trying to wrong-foot Miku in a harmless situation.
Gurwinder Singh (5.5/10) : Gurwinder mindlessly flung his hands up and conceded a penalty.
Eduardo Ferreira (8.5/10) : Eduardo made some brave last-ditch tackles and kept East Bengal into the game until the final third of the game.
Samad Ali Mallick (5/10) : Samad mindlessly elbowed Bose's face and was rightfully sent off. He was one of the reasons behind East Bengal's huge defeat today.
Lalramchullova (7/10) : Chullova did pretty well in the first half but struggled to mark Chhetri later on. He allowed Chhetri his second goal from a long cross.
Khalid Aucho (8/10) : Aucho was aggressive and agile during the whole match. He earned possession back for his team on numerous occasions.
Laldanmawia Ralte (8/10) : Ralte's crosses from the right was a regular threat to Bengaluru FC defence. He troubled Subhasish Bose in regular intervals with quick runs down the right.
Cavin Lobo (7.5/10) : Lobo had a decent game but could not be at his best and was subbed off later in the game.
Al-Amna (8.5/10) : Al-Amna held up play brilliantly and created space for Katsumi and Kromah to exploit. However, he slowed down the game on few occasions with unnecessary touches.
Katsumi (7.5/10) : The Japanese was only effective from corners and crosses. His crosses seldom found an East Bengal player in the box today.
Kromah (8.5/10) : Kromah scored in spectacular fashion to put East Bengal ahead but was rarely a threat later on for Bengaluru. His poor marking of Bheke also allowed Bengaluru to equalise.
SUBSTITUTES
Joby Justin (N/A)
Dudu Omagbemi (N/A)
Deepak Kumar (6/10) : The youngster came in late and intercepted some crucial incoming balls.
