Bengaluru FC and Kerala Blasters will be facing each other for the first time since the free-kick controversy, which led to the infamous controversial walk-off protest by the currently banned KBFC coach Ivan Vukomanovic and his players.
Ever since, the clash has been very much anticipated by Indian football fans. It will be a must-win encounter for both sides in what will be a three-way battle between the Blues, the Manjappadas, and Sreenidi Deccan.
Bengaluru posted their first win of the tournament with a 2-0 win against RoundGlass Punjab after drawing out their first game against Sreenidi 1-1 whereas KBFC come into this fixture following a 2-0 defeat against Sreenidi having won their first game against RoundGlass Punjab.
In an interesting move, the Super Cup organizing committee announced that both matches of Group A will be played simultaneously at two different venues
