Quarter-Finals

The Quarter-Finals of the Durand Cup shall be played between 12 teams. Five of the teams currently play in 2012–13 I-League, two played in the 2012 I-League 2nd Division and one currently play in the Mumbai Football League. The other four spots would have been taken up by the top three teams from the preliminary round plus one service team. However, on 22 August 2012 it was announced that HAL SC would withdraw from the tournament (along with Churchill Brothers S.C. who withdrew before the initial list of teams was released) and thus freeing an extra space. So in order to fill it up the Durand Football Committee decided to qualify the four teams remaining in the preliminary rounds.[3] Therefore, Delhi United FC, FC Punjab Police, Assam Rifles FC, and CRPF FC will qualify directly for the Quarter-Finals.[3]

Scorers

All goals from tournament proper. Goals from qualifiers are not counted in this list.

gollark: ComputerCraft's not particularly bad as environments go.
gollark: No, it should just not be done, do things cleanly, correctly and... generally sanely?
gollark: Well, as I said, that way it will *maybe* fix your *particular* issue, but you'll try and blindly shove that in another project and it *won't*.
gollark: ...
gollark: All good JSON parsing/serialization code would just handle all the escaping and whatnot sanely and automatically and let me just pass in an object and convert it to a string.
