After the match ended 0–0, East Bengal won the first Super Cup on penalties 4–2.[2] Salgaocar proceeded to win the next two editions of the Super Cup before the tournament was suspended for three seasons.[1] When the cup returned in 2003 Mahindra United defeated East Bengal on penalties 4–3 after drawing them 1–1.[1] The cup was then held seven more times before being suspended and hasn't been played since the 2011 fixture.[1]
