Fans have stirred up social media
Kerala Blasters FC left the ground in protest at the referee’s disallowance of Sunil Chhetri’s quick free kick goal in the 96th minute of the play-off eliminator against Bengaluru FC. It is indicated that Kerala Blasters FC head coach Ivan Vukomanovic will have to face suspension and fine punishment in this regard. Football fans are eagerly waiting to see if the AIFF will limit the action against the Kerala Blasters FC team to the punishment for Ivan Vukomanovic.
Meanwhile, if action is taken against Ivan Vukomanovic, it is unlikely that Kerala Blasters FC fans will look on with their hands folded. Because the Kerala Blasters FC team, who came from behind in their play-off eliminator battle against Bengaluru FC, and especially Ivan Vukomanovic, were given a huge welcome by the fans at the Nedumbassery airport.
