In the final game of the league stage, Bengaluru faced southern rivals
Bengaluru FC faced 4th placed FC Pune City in the semi-finals. Playing the first leg at away, Bengaluru had to settle for a goal-less draw.[45] In the return leg played at home, Bengaluru FC defeated Pune City 3–1 to enter final in their debut ISL season. Captain Sunil Chhetri scored his first hat-trick for Bengaluru FC. Jonatan Lucca scored the lone goal for Pune City.[46]
Bengaluru FC faced
Reacting to the defeat, Albert Roca said:[48]
To concede from set-pieces is always disappointing. I don’t blame the defence for this. It is my responsibility to change the system. But, I accept I made a mistake in the formation. Sometimes in football it is not the players who make the mistakes, but the coaches. And perhaps this time I made a mistake. I don’t think we felt pressure, but Mailson scoring from two corners made a big difference. In a few minutes, the game changed. In football, you need players with his kind of experience to rise to the situation.
