It’s Sachin versus Ganguli again – this time it is the football field and ISL final


Sachin Tendulkar and Saurav Ganguli are both cricketing greats of Indian cricket and, after leaving the 22-yard strips for good and when the Indian Super League ISL was created, both of them bought football teams.
Sourav became co-owner of Atletico de Kolkata and Sachin became co-owner of Kerala Blasters.
Fortunately, both the teams have now come to the finals of the inaugural ISL which will be played in Mumbai on the 20th of December – the game had kicked off on 6th October.
Sachin’s team had advanced to the finals by besting M S Dhoni’s team Chennaiyin FC 4-3 in extra time.
However, Sourav’s team Atletico de Kolkata beat FC Goa in a penalty shoot-out after the teams finished goalless after 120 minutes in the second leg of second semi-final. The final result of the match was 4-2.
