It was a hot battle between the Yellow Jackets fans for the ticket to the final. Tickets for the 18,000-capacity stadium were put up for sale. Organizers had earlier said they would admit the entire audience, but opposition from members of the health ministry’s expert committee led to uncertainty. The proposal was a maximum of 75 per cent. The expert committee meeting held at Goa Medical College finally agreed to 100 per cent.
The Kerala Blasters reached the semi-finals by defeating Jamshedpur FC 2-1 in both quarters to clinch the League Winners’ Shield. Hyderabad FC beat last season’s runners-up ATK Mohan Bagan 3-2 to reach the final. The Blasters and Hyderabad won each match when they clashed in the league stage.
