==Background==
[[Mohun Bagan FC|Mohun Bagan]] were playing a record 19th [[Indian Federation Cup|Federation Cup]] final. They had previously won 13, a record in itself. However, their most recent victory was way back in the [[2008 Indian Federation Cup|2008 edition]] against [[Dempo S.C.|Dempo]] by a margin of 1–0.<ref>{{cite web|title=13th Federation Cup triumph of McDowell's Mohun Bagan in 2008 |url=http://www.mohunbaganac.com/news-detail/13th-federation-cup-triumph-of-mcdowells-mohun-bagan-in-2008-2327 |website=mohunbaganac.com |accessdate=21 May 2016 }}</ref> Their most recent defeat in the final was in the [[2010 Indian Federation Cup#Final|2010 edition]], where they lost 1–0 to arch rivals [[East Bengal F.C.|East Bengal]].<ref>{{cite web|title=East Bengal 1-0 Mohun Bagan: Federation Cup Final 2010 |url=http://eastbengalvsmohunbagan.blogspot.in/2013/06/east-bengal-1-0-mohun-bagan-federation.html |website=eastbengalvsmohunbagan.blogspot.in |accessdate=21 May 2016 }}</ref>

It was [[Aizawl F.C.|Aizawl]]'s debut in the [[Indian Federation Cup|Federation Cup]] final. The team had been relegated from the top division of [[I-League]] and were looking to create history by becoming the first ever team from the North-East to win the title.<ref>{{cite web|title=‘Giantkillers’ Aizawl FC face heavyweights Bagan in Federation Cup final |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/football/giankillers-aizawl-fc-face-heavyweights-bagan-in-federation-cup-final/story-bDSl2CariYK7jhqueD6NQM.html |website=hindustantimes.com |accessdate=21 May 2016 }}</ref>

Mohun Bagan and Aizawl had played twice during the season's [[2015–16 I-League|I-League]]. While Mohun Bagan won their home match, it was the highlanders who spoiled the party for Mohun Bagan in the latter's away game. On 9 January 2016, Mohun Bagan won the opening match of the [[2015–16 I-League|I-League]] 3–1 at the [[Barasat Stadium]], with a brace from [[Cornell Glen]] and a solitary goal from [[Balwant Singh (footballer)|Balwant]]. Aizawl's only goal was a result of an own goal from Bagan right back, [[Pritam Kotal]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/sport/report-i-league-mohun-bagan-off-to-a-flying-start-courtesy-cornell-glenn-2163926|title=Mohun Bagan off to a flying start courtesy Cornell Glenn|website=dnaindia.com|accessdate=21 May 2016}}</ref>
In the return leg encounter at the [[Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Aizawl]] it was the highlanders who brought down high flying Mohun Bagan to ground with a 2–1 victory over the [[Kolkata]] club. [[Alfred Jaryan]] opened the scoring for the highlanders, while [[Cornell Glen]] equalised for Mohun Bagan. In the second half it was [[Lalchawnkima]] who converted from the spot to give Aizawl a much cherished victory.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en-india/match/aizawl-vs-mohun-bagan/2177579/report|title=Mariners left red faced as they succumb to maiden I-League defeat|website=goal.com|accessdate=21 May 2016}}</ref>

[[Mohun Bagan FC|Mohun Bagan]] had reached the finals 18 times previously and made their 19th appearance in the final in the [[2015–16 Indian Federation Cup|2015–16 Federation Cup]]. Mohun Bagan kicked off their campaign on a positive note when they defeated [[Salgaocar F.C.|Salgaocar]] in a [[2015–16 Indian Federation Cup#Quarter-finals|quarter final]] away encounter. [[Jeje Lalpekhlua]] opened the scoring for the Mariners within 30 seconds from kick-off as he headed in a [[Subhash Singh]] cross. Bagan however found themselves down 2–1 at the end of the first half, thanks to 26th and 30th-minute strikes from [[Martin Scott (Scottish footballer)|Martin Scott]] and [[Calvin Mbarga]] respectively. In the second half, substitute [[Abhishek Das (footballer)|Abhishek Das]] drew Mohun Bagan level as he netted in a goal in the 77th minute from a [[Katsumi Yusa]] pass, minutes after he was introduced as a substitute. In the 86th minute, it was [[Jeje Lalpekhlua]] who sealed the fate of the match with a vicious half volley past the goalkeeper [[Karanjit Singh]] to put Mohun Bagan 3–2 ahead. The match ended with the same scoreline and Bagan had 3 crucial away goals in their kitty giving them a lot of confidence before the home leg.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=7159|title=Jeje's brace leads Mohun Bagan to a 2-3 win over Salgaocar|website=the-aiff.com|date=2 May 2016|accessdate=15 May 2016}}</ref>

In the return leg of the [[2015–16 Indian Federation Cup#Quarter-finals|quarter final]] tie, the Mariners demolished [[Salgaocar F.C.|Salgaocar]] 4–0 riding on a brace from Haitian playmaker [[Sony Norde]] and goals from [[Katsumi Yusa]] and [[Jeje Lalpekhlua]]. It was [[Katsumi Yusa]] who started the scoring in the 25th minute reaching at the end of a [[Sony Norde]] cross and tapping it easily into an open net. Minutes away from the half time whistle [[Sony Norde]] scored his first of the match and the tournament as he beautifully cut in from the left and put the ball in the net past the goalkeeper to ensure that Bagan went into the lemon break with a 3-goal advantage on aggregate. The Green and Maroon brigade started off the second half where they ended the first. It was a piece of individual brilliance by Haitian playmaker [[Sony Norde]] as he went past three [[Salgaocar F.C.|Salgaocar]] defenders and put the ball in the net with relative ease to score his second of the night. In the final minute of the match, a beautiful through ball from [[Cornell Glen]] saw [[Jeje Lalpekhlua]] tap it in with utter ease to put the icing on the cake of the Green and Maroon victory.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=7168|title=Mohun Bagan to face Shillong Lajong in Hero Fed Cup semis|website=the-aiff.com|date=5 May 2016|accessdate=15 May 2016}}</ref>

Next, Mohun Bagan were up against a fairly confident [[Shillong Lajong F.C.|Shillong Lajong]] side who had entered the [[2015–16 Indian Federation Cup#Semi-finals|semi-finals]] upsetting [[Kolkata]] giants [[East Bengal F.C.|East Bengal]] 4–3 on aggregate. The first 30 minutes of the semi-final was a closely contested tie. It took a moment of individual brilliance from [[Sony Norde]] in the 40th minute to open the scoring for Bagan. His long range effort rebounded off [[Shillong Lajong F.C.|Lajong]] goalkeeper [[Vishal Kaith]], and [[Jeje Lalpekhlua]] grabbed onto the opportunity as he toed the ball into the net. This goal opened the scoring floodgates for Mohun Bagan. In the final stages of the first half [[Bikramjit Singh]] scored a screamer from a [[Cornell Glen]] pass to put Mohun Bagan ahead 2–0. After the restart [[Jeje Lalpekhlua]] completed his hat-trick by scoring in the 51st and 56th minute. At the fag end of the match young star [[Azharuddin Mallick]] put the final nail in the [[Shillong Lajong F.C.|Lajong]] coffin to secure a comprehensive 5–0 victory for the Mariners.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=7172|title=Jeje hat-trick leads Bagan to 5-0 win over Lajong|website=the-aiff.com|date=8 May 2016|accessdate=15 May 2016}}</ref>

Mohun Bagan had almost secured a place in the [[2015–16 Indian Federation Cup#Final|final]] as they went into the semi-final away encounter with a 5–0 advantage against [[Shillong Lajong F.C.|Shillong Lajong]]. This however did not deter the Bagan gaffer, [[Sanjoy Sen]] from fielding his first side in the match. The Mariners however lacked motivation and played a defensive game. They failed to create significant positive moves as their opponents found it easier going in the centre of the field. [[Shillong Lajong F.C.|Shillong Lajong]] had their best chance of the match when Brazilian striker [[Fábio Pena]] found an open net in front of him but still ended up hitting the woodwork. The match was fairly uneventful and ended a 0–0 stalemate guaranteeing Mohun Bagan progress on basis of the 5–0 aggregate scoreline.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=7186|title=Mohun Bagan progress into the finals of Hero Fed Cup|website=the-aiff.com|date=14 May 2016|accessdate=15 May 2016}}</ref>

[[Aizawl F.C.|Aizawl]] had a dream run in the [[2015–16 Indian Federation Cup|Federation Cup]] before they made it to their first ever [[2015–16 Indian Federation Cup#Final|final]]. In the [[2015–16 Indian Federation Cup#Quarter-finals|quarter final]] encounter, they were first up at home against the recently crowned [[2015-16 I-League|I-League]] champions [[Bengaluru FC]]. [[Bengaluru FC]] opened the scoring in the 15th minute thanks to a strike from midfield general [[Eugeneson Lyngdoh]]. Aizawl however did not give up hope and drew level terms in the 38th minute from an [[Alfred Jaryan]] strike. In the final minutes of regulation time, it was striker [[Joel Sunday]] who gave Aizawl the elusive winning goal. This result meant that although [[Bengaluru FC]] had an away goal in their kitty, it was Aizawl who walked away the stronger, being a goal to the good before the return leg [[2015–16 Indian Federation Cup#Quarter-finals|quarter final]] encounter.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=7148|title=Aizawl FC stun Hero I-League Champions Bengaluru FC|website=the-aiff.com|date=30 April 2016|accessdate=15 May 2016}}</ref>

The return leg match at the [[Sree Kanteerava Stadium]] started with [[Bengaluru FC]] needing a 1–0 victory to guarantee a place in the semi-finals. It was however, the visitors Aizawl who drew first blood from a [[Joel Sunday]] goal in the 26th minute. [[Bengaluru FC]] however were not too late to strike back. In the 28th minute, [[C.K. Vineeth]] found himself at the end of a [[Keegan Pereira (footballer)|Keegan Pereira]] pass and the Keralite did not make any mistake in finding the back of the net. In the 38th minute however, the agony for the hosts mounted as [[Joel Sunday]] scored a scorcher of a goal to give Aizawl a 2–1 lead with 2 away goals, 1 more than [[Bengaluru FC]]. After the restart, post the lemon break, the fate of the match was sealed by the Aizawl captain [[David Lalrinmuana]] as he scored from a direct free-kick to give the visitors an almost unassailable 3–1 lead (5–2 on aggregate). [[Bengaluru FC]] pressed hard in the final half hour and did manage to pull one back through a penalty goal from Indian striker [[Sunil Chettri]]. However, that proved to be too little too late as the visitors booked their spot in the semi-final with a 3–2 victory on the night and an aggregate scoreline of 5–3 in their favour.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=7162|title=Aizawl FC progress into Semi-Finals of Hero Fed Cup|website=the-aiff.com|date=3 May 2016|accessdate=15 May 2016}}</ref>

Aizawl were up against [[Sporting Clube de Goa|Sporting Goa]] in the semi-final encounter at home in the first leg. The match saw both teams playing safe and ended 0–0 leaving the teams' fate resting on the return leg encounter at the [[Fatorda Stadium|Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium]], [[Goa]]. The match produced a few sporadic chances, most of which fell to the north eastern side. The best chance of the match came in the 53rd minute when captain [[David Lalrinmuana]]'s free-kick found [[Emmanuel Chigozie]] in the box, but the latter failed to break the deadlock. In the 81st minute, [[Sporting Clube de Goa|Sporting Goa]] custodian [[Arindam Bhattacharya (footballer)|Arindam Bhattacharya]] pulled off a brilliant save to deny the hosts the lead.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=7175|title=Aizawl FC held to a goalless draw by Sporting Goa in Hero Fed Cup semis|website=the-aiff.com|date=10 May 2016|accessdate=15 May 2016}}</ref>

The fate of the semi-finalists rested on the return leg encounter in [[Goa]]. The match started off with nerves on both sides forcing rookie mistakes in both camps. It was however the visitors Aizawl, who drew first blood, all thanks to their wonderman [[Joel Sunday]] who put them ahead in the 37th minute. The 1–0 lead meant Aizawl had an away goal advantage and [[Sporting Clube de Goa|Sporting Goa]] would have to score two to progress into the [[2015–16 Indian Federation Cup#Final|final]]. The Goans however got their rescue act in place, seconds away from the lemon break whistle. A [[Sumit Passi]] header found the back of the net to draw [[Sporting Clube de Goa]] to level terms. The visitors however made the Goan recovery more difficult after the referee awarded a penalty to the highlanders as their captain [[David Lalrinmuana]] was tripped in the box by a [[Sporting Clube de Goa|Sporting Goa]] defender. [[Lalchawnkima]] made no mistake in finding the net from the penalty spot to give Aizawl a 2–1 lead. In the 80th minute however, a butter-fingers moment from Aizawl goalkeeper [[Soram Poirei]] saw him push an easy shot right onto [[Glan Martins]]' boots. The forward made no mistake in scoring from close range to draw the Goans 2–2. [[Sporting Clube de Goa|Sporting Goa]] however needed another goal to advance to the [[2015–16 Indian Federation Cup#Final|final]]. They had their best chance in injury time, but [[Sumit Passi]] failed to tap in an easy ball into an open net. The ending however was not very happy for the visitors. Aizawl captain [[David Lalrinmuana]] was given the marching orders by the referee when he tried to delay a free-kick from being taken. This made the vital midfielder unavailable for the all-important [[2015–16 Indian Federation Cup#Final|final]] encounter. The match finished 2–2 on the night and the same on aggregate seeing Aizawl go through to the [[2015–16 Indian Federation Cup#Final|final]] having two more away goals than their opponents.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.the-aiff.com/news-center-details.htm?id=7188|title=Aizawl FC to take on Mohun Bagan in Hero Fed Cup Finals|website=the-aiff.com|date=15 May 2016|accessdate=15 May 2016}}</ref>
