On Saturday the final of the inaugural Indian Super League will be played between Atletico de Kolkata and Kerala Blasters in Mumbai. After 2 months and 8 days the tournament that has seemingly propelled Indian football will come to an end. Incidentally though, 2 cricketers are turning out to be the force, at least in part, behind the unprecedented excitement that the championship match has generated.

The television promo of the tournament starts with Sourav Ganguly saying 'winning is great but I ask you what is bigger than coming first?' and then later has David James says 'the first Champions'. Clearly, James, the manager of Kerala Blasters and Ganguy the co-owner of Atletico de Kolkata know the importance of winning the first Indian Super League but with both sides more or less upsetting the favourites to reach so far - are they happy with just reaching the final? Ganguly didn't really give a clear answer to the question 'You're a winner so getting to the finals is not enough is it? saying 'I don't have an answer to this question. As an athlete, as someone who has played world cup finals, it is a big stepping stone and I have captained in a world cup final so I know the pressure. Whatever happens, happens. We are still with the side''

The focus though is on the fact that this will be a battle between 2 co-owners and legendary cricketers in Sachin Tendulkar of Kerala and Sourav of Kolkata. Dada though did say he 'I have opened with him for 200 games I can sit next to him for one last time'

Such is the excitement regarding Sourav and Sachin facing off against each other that Sachin vs Sourav was amongst the top trends on twitter.

Dada though had made it very clear on NDTV even before tournament started that when it comes to football he was the dada saying ''I hope he (Sachin) is watching this interview I want to tell him that in cricket he was far better but in the ISL he is far far behind he is right at the bottom of the ladder and hopefully I can teach him some football teach him to kick that ball the cricket ball was special to him but I think football I am a little bit ahead of him''

With the number of online viewers crossing 1.1 million for the 2nd leg of the 1st Semi-Final expect the final to break all viewership records for a football match in India. And then it may just be the awakening of the country FIFA President Sepp Blatter termed the sleeping giant in world football.

The second leg semifinal between the two fierce rivals went into extra time after they were locked goal-less in the regulation time. With both teams failing to break the deadlock even in the 30 minutes of extra time, the game was decided via penalty shootout in which the visitors emerged winners.The first leg semifinal between the two sides in Kolkata had ended in a goal-less stalemate.Things panned out pretty much in the same manner before the Sourav Ganguly co-owned side edged past the hosts on penalties after playing out yet another drab draw in the 120 minutes of play.While they failed to score in regulation and extra time, Atletico de Kolkata's Josemi, Mohammed Rafi, Jofre Mateu and Borja Fernandez were bang on target when it mattered most at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.

For the Goa outfit, Andre Santos's spot-kick sailed over the bar while Haroon Amiri's effort struck the upright. Tolgay Ozbey and Clifford Miranda successfully converted but that was not enough.Bruno Pinheiro returned from suspension for the home side while coach Zico also included Peter Carvalho in his starting XI. The duo replaced the injured Narayan Das and Youness Bengelloun.Atletico de Kolkata coach Antonio Lopez Habas made two changes, bringing in Arnab Mondal and Baljit Sahni, who was coming off a one-game suspension. The visitors, though, were without Fikru Teferra.

The visitors had the first chance of the game when Jakub Podany was brought down by Gregory Arnolin, but the resultant free-kick by Josemi was off target.The home side had its share of chances too when Debabrata Roy laid one for Andre Santos at the far post in the seventh minute.

The rival defenders were equal to the task even as Goa attacked on and off. And whenever they did get the better of the rival defence the Goans either directed their shots off target or failed to get past goalkeeper Edel Bete, who did well to make a diving save from Miroslav Slepicka.The return of Bruno gave more solidity to the defence as they did not find much difficulty in negotiating the rival threat, which lacked sting in the absence of Fikru who is nursing injury.The trend continued after the change of ends and Romeo Fernandes, who saw his attempt hit the side neting in the first half, nearly scored but goalkeeper Bete did well to keep the ball out of danger soon after resumption.

Bete once again came to his side's rescue midway in the second half to stop Andre Santos, from inside the box with his outstretched leg, to take the match into extra time.The visitors who looked dangerous on counter attacks nearly broke the deadlock but Jose Minguel Rey's freekick went inches over the bar.
