The Indian Super League 2023-24 has reached its business end, with four teams – Mohun Bagan Super Giant, FC Goa, Mumbai City FC and Odisha FC – vying for the Championship on May 4.
The first legs of the semifinals are done and dusted, producing some nail-biting action wherein Mumbai City scored thrice in seven minutes to stun FC Goa in its own fortress.
Mohun Bagan, which won its first Shield in its last home game, will now host Odisha FC while Mumbai City looks to continue its domination over the Gaurs to seal a spot in the final after three years.
Before the second leg, Sportstar looks at what happens if the matches end as a tie on aggregate scores after two legs.
What is the result after the first leg?
Odisha FC beat Mohun Bagan 2-1 while Mumbai City reigned supreme with a 3-2 win over FC Goa. If the Mariners and the Gaurs score once each, the aggregate score in both matches will be level, at 2-2 and 3-3, respectively.
What happens if the ISL semifinal ends in a draw on aggregate?
If the ISL semifinals end in a draw, an extra 30 minutes will be played to determine a result and if that proves to be insufficient, the game will progress to a penalty shootout.
