Kerala Blasters FC

The 3-1 win was capped off by a goal by Adrian Luna which was arguably one of the best this season, given the build-up play involved.

Jamshedpur FC will host Chennaiyin FC at the JRD Tata Sports Complex in Jamshedpur on the same day. Diamantakos made no mistake from the spot by sending the keeper the wrong way to give Kerala Blasters a 2-1 lead heading into the second half. Prabhsukhan Gill came out of his line to stop one of these attacks, but his clearance landed into the path of Daniel Chukwu, whose brilliant chipped effort from outside the box levelled the scores in the 17th minute.

Apostolos Giannou gave Kerala Blasters FC an early lead but Jamshedpur FC pulled one back through Daniel Chima Chukwu. However, Dimitrios Diamantakos scored ...

As a team, we do not want to be casual and we want to continue in the same way. We knew we had to deal with the duels and second balls and again, the boys were good. And now, for the second season in a row, we are among the best and we want to stay here. And we expected them to start the game in the same manner,” he said. We knew we had to deal with the long balls. So far we are happy with the progress, we are happy with the players and how they fit into the team with youngsters coming into the team.

Kerala Blasters find three foreigners on the scoresheet on their way to triumph against Jamshedpur FC in ISL 2022-23.

Struggled to read Kerala’s attacks and stop them from running the show in his half. The winger looked promising with a good attacking output. The selection was Vukamanovic’s big call and delivered a brilliant display by the “Back-heel God”. Was given more time on the ball, and was substituted. Scored a beautiful goal from a link-up play which was an absolute feast to watch for the fans. A deadly cross from him resulted in a handball by Boris Singh ultimately leading to a penalty reward for the team. His surging runs in the first half were impressive. Did his job pretty well and aided Sandeep at times. The backbone of the defence kept the backline intact through his experience and leadership. Even tried to clear off the Daniel Chima goal through an acrobatic attempt. Although he was dispossessed at times, managed to keep the defence intact through his blocks and interceptions. The young custodian had a dip in his performance between the sticks.

Plus...Roy Krishna and Sunil Chhetri struggle in front of goal, Cleiton Silva doesn't.

And he came back to haunt them twice - the second a delicious free-kick that was worthy of winning the game and having East Bengal leapfrog Bengaluru FC in the table. Not so lovely to see both Ali and Ashique Kuruniyan battle for miss of the season, though. - Lovely to see Anwar Ali get his first ISL goal, especially after the struggles he's faced in his career. When centre-back Odei Onaindia can find the net whilst slipping and falling with a first-time volley through a crowd of defenders, and Ogbeche can only earn 0.03 xGoT from his shots... Each of Hyderabad FC, Kerala Blasters and ATK Mohun Bagan won their encounters to keep their spots in the top 4, with Goa and Odisha still in the playoff places. There is a legitimate shot at silverware this season, the acid test of which will come in their next game against Mumbai City.
