Two days after the incident, the protest at the Blasters stadium is still being discussed. The Kerala Blasters players were recalled from the first play-off of the ISL 2022-23 season during the match, protesting against the unscientific referee’s decision by coach Ivan Vukomanovic. The coach’s decision was supported by the Yellow Army fans, while others in the football field opposed it.

Sunil Chhetri’s foul goal in extra time against Bengaluru FC Kerala Blasters in the first play-off of the ISL 2022-23 season led to controversy. Chheti scored before giving the Blasters time to defend against BFC’s free kick from just outside Kerala’s box. When the referee ruled it a goal, it led to controversies.
Even though Kerala Blasters protested in the dugout, the referee stuck to the decision. With this, coach Ivan Vukomanovic called the Blasters players to leave the field. Then the Kerala Blasters team returned to the dressing room. Later, the match commissioner and others came and wrote the verdict that Bengaluru FC had won.
