South Indian Derby, also known as Southern Derby,[1] is the name given to a football derby contested by any two of South India's three professional football clubs: Bengaluru FC, Chennaiyin FC and Kerala Blasters FC.[2][3] The geographical proximity of the clubs contributes significantly to the rivalries; the competition between Bengaluru and Kerala's fan clubs also intensifies the derby.[4] Bengaluru was founded in 2013; the Blasters and Chennaiyin were founded one year later. The first South Indian Derby was in 2014, when Kerala and Chennaiyin first met in the Indian Super League's inaugural season. Bengaluru joined the Indian Super League in 2017, playing in the same division as the Blasters and Chennaiyin for the first time. They played their first South Indian Derby against Chennayin FC on 17 December 2017[5] and played their first match against Kerala Blasters on 31 December 2017.[6]

History

Location of the three South Indian clubs.

Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka are the three among the five states from the South India that also shares their borders. Kerala Blasters is a club based in Kochi, which is at the west of state Kerala and Chennaiyin FC is a club based in Chennai which is at the east of state Tamil Nadu.[7] Bengaluru FC is based in Bengaluru on the south-east of the Karnataka state. Though Hyderabad FC is also a South Indian club from the Telangana state, it is located at the northern part of South India and is geographically far from these three clubs. Hence, they are not generally considered as a South Indian club. Bengaluru FC was founded in July 2013 as a direct entrant to play in the 2013-14 I League season. Around the same time, there were plans to start a new football tournament comprising of eight new clubs and the Indian Super League that was officially launched on 21 October 2013 by IMG–Reliance, Star Sports, and the All India Football Federation. Kerala Blasters and Chennaiyin FC were founded in 2014 as the only two clubs from South India to participate in the league.[8] In 2017, the AIFF approved the proposition to run Indian Super League and I-League run simultaneously on a short–term basis with the Super League becoming the top tier league of Indian in near future.[9] The ISL organizers also started to accept bids for two new franchises for the 2017–18 Indian Super League season and Bengaluru FC won the bid for one slot.[10]

Chennaiyin FC v Kerala Blasters

Kerala Blasters and Chennaiyin FC were founded in 2014 as two among the eight clubs to compete in the inaugural season of Indian Super League. The Blasters and Chennaiyin first met on 20 October 2014 at Marina Arena with the match ending in 2–1 in favour of Chennaiyin.[11] Also in the second match at Kochi , Chennaiyin won the match 1–0. The clubs met again each other, this time at the play offs where the Blasters defeated Chennaiyin 3–0. Despite entering the second leg with a three-goal advantage, Chennaiyin drew the tie level by winning in regular time 3–0. However, Stephen Pearson scored the tie-clinching goal in the 116th minute for the Blasters to seal their 4–3 win.[12] The rivalry actually intensified in 2016 when Chennaiyin manager Marco Materazzi was given a one-match suspension after he was involved in a scuffle between a Chennaiyin player and a Kerala Blasters player.[13] This incident led the Blasters fans to wear masks of Zinedine Zidane at the return leg in Kochi, intensifying the rivalry between the clubs.[14]

Bengaluru FC v Kerala Blasters

Kerala Blasters and Bengaluru FC first met on 31 December 2017, with Bengaluru winning the match 3–1. However the rivalry between the Blasters and Bengaluru is a unique one in Indian football as it was developed even before the Blasters and Bengaluru played against each other.[16] The rivalry originates from the competition between both clubs fan bases; Manjappada of the Blasters and Bengaluru's West Block Blues.[17] When Bengaluru FC joined the Indian Super League in 2017, it was also announced that C. K. Vineeth and Rino Anto, both played for Kerala Blasters in 2016 season on loan from Bengaluru would be signing permanently with the Blasters. When Bengaluru played a home against North Korean side April 25 SC in the first leg of the AFC Cup Inter-Zone in August 2017, both Vineeth and Anto were also present at Kanteerava for witnessing the game. Even though the majority of West Block Blues began singing their specialized chants of Vineeth and Rino Anto,[18] acknowledging their presence and contribution for the club, a bunch of supporters among the group also started abusive chanting[19] against Kerala Blasters which later started a tension among the groups[20] when Rino Anto expressed his displeasure regarding the incident on social media.[21] The rivalry intensified when the groups started going against each other in the form of banters.[22] Since their first meeting in December 2017, the matches between the Blasters and Bengaluru is one of the most anticipated derbies in the Indian Super League.[23][24]

Bengaluru FC v Chennaiyin FC

Bengaluru and Chennaiyin first met on 17 December 2017 at Sree Kanteerava Stadium, the home ground of Bengaluru FC, with the match ending 1–2 in favour of Chennaiyin.[26] They both came face to face three times that season, in which the last time was in the finals of 2017–18 Indian Super League finals, which ended in the favour of Chennaiyin as they defeated Bengaluru 2-3 thereby clinching their second Indian Super League title.[27] Since then, the fans of both teams had started to develop a rivalry between both the clubs.[28] The rivalry between fans and players started to get more intense when the fans of Chennaiyin FC displayed a controversial banner speaking out about Raphael Augusto, when he left Chennaiyin to play for Bengaluru during the 2019-20 Indian Super League season.[29] The matches between Bengaluru FC and Chennaiyin FC since their first confrontation is one of the most awaited Southern Derby in the league.[30]

Notable matches

  • Kerala Blasters FC 3–0 Chennaiyin FC (13 December 2014)
This third ever match between these two clubs is considered as the one that sparked the rivalry between them. The first leg of the semi-finals which took place at Kochi had an attendance of 60,900. Ishfaq Ahmed scored the first goal for Blasters in the 27th minute and two minutes later Iain Hume scored the second goal for the Blasters.[32] In the injury time, Sushant Mathew scored a stunning left-footer from 30 yards which sealed the first every victory for the Blasters against Chennaiyin. This goal by Sushant is considered by many of the Blasters' fans as one of the clubs greatest goal in its history.[33]
  • Kerala Blasters FC 1–3 Chennaiyin FC (16 December 2014)
This second leg of the semi-finals which was held at Chennai is considered to be one of the most dramatic matches in the history of Indian Super League.[34][35] Kerala Blasters suffered an early setback as their defender Jamie McAllister received a second yellow card during the 28th minute because of kicking Bernard Mendy. Mikaël Silvestre opened the score sheet for Chennaiyin in 42th minute of the game. During the 50th minute, Chennaiyin received a penalty due to a foul committed by Sandesh Jhingan, but Marco Materazzi missed the shot by hitting it wide of the left post. Kerala's happiness didn't last long as Chennaiyin found their second goal when Jhingan scored an own goal while clearing the ball in the 76th minute. Chennaiyin FC levelled the semi-final on the aggregate score of 3-3 in the 90th minute, when Jeje found the net thereby taking the match to extra time. During the 104th minute of the game, Marco Materazzi was sent off by receiving a second yellow thus reducing Chennaiyin also to ten men.[36] In extra time, Stephen Pearson scored the decisive goal for the Blasters in the 117th minute to win the tie 4–3 on aggregate to march into the final.[37] Just before the final whistle, during the 119th minute, Chennaiyin FC midfielder Bojan Djordjic also received a red card.[38][39]
