Bruzon, Annese hail players despite exit disappointment

Kolkata: Bashundhara Kings head coach Oscar Bruzon and his Gokulam Kerala counterpart Vincenzo Alberto Annese both paid tribute to their players as their AFC Cup™ 2022 campaigns came to an end on Tuesday.

Bangladesh champions Bashundhara edged India's Gokulam Kerala 2-1 in their final Group D tie but missed out on a place in the Inter-Zone Semi-finals following ATK Mohun Bagan's 5-2 win against Maziya Sports & Recreation.

The result meant the Indian Super League side won the group by virtue-of their superior head-to-head record.
