The two sides were level 2-2 at the end of regulation time and extra time and it took the penalties and sudden death to decide the winner.
On the other hand, Mohammedan Sporting had a relatively easy passage into the final after the Kolkata giants beat FC Bengaluru United 4-2 in the other last-four encounter.
For Mohammedan Sporting, who are the sentimental favourites, it is their sixth appearance in the finals of the oldest tournament in the country as well as Asia.
The tournament was held initially without fans due to the raging cornavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
However, with the tournament organisers allowing 50 per cent attendance from the second semifinal featuring FC Goa and Bengaluru FC, it was a spectacle with spectators to be hold at the famed Salt Lake Stadium.
It is for the second successive time that Kolkata is hosting the event after the premier tournament moved from its traditional base New Delhi in 2019. Kolkata will now be home for the tournament for the next five more years.
The tournament saw 16 teams including five Indian Super League (ISL) clubs, divided into four groups with the the top two making it to the quarterfinals.
The all-ISL semifinal featuring FC Goa and Bengaluru FC has literally set the tempo for the finals and come Sunday, one would expect a cracker of a contest. Bring it on!
