“It’s tough to not know which players I have available to me until three hours before we board the bus for the game. Some of my players exit their quarantine on the morning of the match, and these are only some of the problems we have faced. When you consider them, we did well under the circumstances against FC Goa. The boys have shown incredible mentality and character,” BFC head coach Marco Pezzaiuoli said.

Chennaiyin FC head coach Bozidar Bandovic stated, “BFC is one of the best teams, with good quality players in their squad. They are very dangerous on the offensive set pieces. We need to defend set pieces very well.”
