Defence leads bengaluru fc to the playoffs

I think there may be a small mistake there!

Bengaluru FC is a professional football club based in Bangalore, India, and they have had a successful run in the Indian Super League (ISL) and the AFC Cup. However, I'm not aware of any instance where "defence" (or "defense" in American English) has led the team to the playoffs.

Could you please clarify what you mean by "defence leads Bengaluru FC to the playoffs"? Are you referring to a specific match or season where the team's defensive performance was crucial in securing a playoff spot?
