Afc cup bengaluru fc deliver worst performance by an indian club
A painful topic for Bengaluru FC fans!
Yes, you're referring to Bengaluru FC's disappointing performance in the 2020 AFC Cup, where they were eliminated in the group stage with just 2 points from 6 matches. This was the worst performance by an Indian club in the AFC Cup.
Here are some stats that highlight their struggles:
- Bengaluru FC failed to win a single match in the group stage, drawing 2 and losing 4.
- They conceded 12 goals and scored only 4, resulting in a goal difference of -8.
- They were outplayed by their opponents, with an average possession percentage of 43.5% and an average of 10.5 shots per match, compared to their opponents' 56.5% and 14.5 shots per match, respectively.
- The team's defense was particularly porous, with 12 goals conceded in just 6 matches, an average of 2 goals per match.
The team's poor performance was attributed to several factors, including:
- Injuries to key players, such as Sunil Chhetri and Udanta Singh.
- Lack of cohesion and chemistry among the players.
- Inconsistent refereeing decisions, which affected the team's momentum.
- The team's inability to adapt to the AFC Cup's more competitive format, which features teams from across Asia.
Despite this disappointing performance, Bengaluru FC has a rich history of success in Indian football, having won multiple domestic titles, including the Indian Super League (ISL) and the Federation Cup. They will look to bounce back from this setback and regain their form in future competitions.
