***** GOOD EVENING, WELCOME TO YUBABHARATI KRIANGAN, STAY WITH US FOR THE LIVE UPDATES.
COACHES COMMENT BEFORE THE MATCH: “
CARLES CUADRAT: “We were trying to go in front and trying to be compact in the defence, but it is true that in the second half, we started to lose the ball very easily. We were trying to cover half of the pitch with Nishu (Kumar) and Borja (Herrera) in the middle of the pitch trying to help Saul (Crespo), but just the set-piece changed everything and then we switched off for a few minutes and it is incredible that they scored the goals within one minute. I think that we are in the middle of a new project with a lot of new players. I think that we need to find the maturity to manage the game better. I think that this was a very tough lesson for us."
We have to understand that this is a new team with a new coach and new tactics. I accept that we need to be more active and be confident. My message to the fans is to be patient because in this game and the last few games, I saw some good moments from the team and I was happy with those moments. There is a lot to learn from these last few games."

IVAN VUKOMANOVIC: "I think that this year East Bengal has more quality, based on individual players. They are a dangerous team with very good organisation so we have to be more aware of that." It does not mean anything, there are clubs who started the league not on a great level yet later they catch up and they went up the table."
"We are always glad to have these kinds of players with experience who can bring something to our team. So, let us hope that on Saturday it will be the case." When you approach a game, you not only prepare your team physically but also mentally. Many times some players will make wrong decisions or mistakes which will lead to us conceding goals. We know how we have to deal with those moments. We have a very young team with many young players. We want them to grow up and this is the way they learn."

HEAD TO HEAD CLASH
Matches played: 14
Kerala Blasters wins: 4
Jamshedpur FC wins: 3
Draws : 7
Kerala Blasters FC recorded their second straight win of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2022-23 season as they beat visitors Jamshedpur FC by 1-0 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi tonight, thanks to a 74th minute strike by their talismanic skipper Adrian Luna.
The Uruguayan attacking midfielder was the point of difference in a hotly contested encounter as he bagged his second goal of the campaign in this match.
An erratic Jamshedpur backline handed the Blasters their first real goal-scoring opportunity in the game. Ivan Vukomanovic’s strategy and Kerala’s midfield is to be credited for that too. As Jamshedpur FC struggled to clear the ball for once and for all, Jeakson Singh pressed high, recovered possession and played a short pass to Luna from several yards outside the box. The Uruguayan star had ample to space to dribble closer to the goal and take a shot. However, he opted for an unconventional approach, instead choosing to chip the ball over Jamshedpur goalkeeper Rehenesh TP’s head. Instead, the ball lobbed over the post.
Jamshedpur maintained a sustained period of offensive pressure for a brief period thereafter. One of those moves brought them within an inch of breaking the deadlock, courtesy of an impressive headed effort by Seiminlen Doungel. Nikhil Baria found significant space on the right flank and used that to curl in a cross for Doungel that landed slightly wide off the post from his head. Daniel Chima Chukwu ran and kept the ball in play, trying to lay up a square pass for the young winger again but it was thwarted by the Kerala backline eventually.
Jamshedpur FC was determined to find the back of the net immediately after the halftime break. Substitute Emil Benny received the ball on the right-hand side and sent in a probing delivery to Jeremy Manzorro on the left-sided channel of the 18-yard box. Manzorro tried to half-volley the ball into the net on his first touch but couldn’t give it the right direction as it ended up being way wide off the crossbar. 15 minutes later, Chukwu controlled a free-kick on the move and tried to get the ball past the Kerala goalkeeper Sachin Suresh, but to no avail.
Finally, it was Luna who landed the decisive blow thanks to a cohesive attacking effort by Daisuke Sakai, Dimitrios Diamantakos, and him. Sakai played a quick pass to Diamantakos inside the box, who back heeled the ball to Luna. The 31-year-old calmly placed the ball on the bottom left corner amidst a thunderous cheer from the home crowd for a goal that guaranteed them three points from this contest.

89': GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAALLLL. Bengaluru FC equalised at the 89th minute. Monirul Molla snatvched a ball from Prabir Das inside the Kerala half covered a long space with sheer speed and passed the ball for unmarked Main inside the 18 yards to did the rest.
68': GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAALLLL. Kerala Blaster scored the second goal. It was a misunderstanding between the defenders and goalkeeper of Bengaluru FC. A back pass from Main to Gurpreet inside the 18 yards, the Bengaluru goalkeeper was delaying and Arian Luna came from the back, utilising the opportunity and scored almost in the empty goal.
52': GOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAALLLL. Kerala Blasters FC took the lead at the 52nd minute of the match. It's a own goal scored by Keziah Veendorp. A corner from left by Adrian Luna was headed towards the goal by Danish Farook, Keziah was trying to clear the ball but the ball went inside the goal after a deflection.
Kerala Blasters FC rode on two second half goals to triumph over Bengaluru FC by 2-1 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi in the opening fixture of the Indian Super League 2023-24 season. Blasters’ skipper Adrian Luna was at the centre of both the strikes, taking the corner for the first one and netting the other to help his side secure three points after a hard-fought first half saw both the teams head into the tunnel without troubling the scorers.
The first-half was quite gruelling with both teams going neck-to-neck to get one over each other. There was little to separate the two sides in terms of possession, shots taken, and even in attacking parameters with regards to the crosses that they attempted.
Both sides came close to breaking the deadlock as the half progressed though, with Blasters’ Daisuke Sakai’s right-footed shot saved by Sandhu in top centre of the goal in the 33rd minute. Bengaluru hit back with the duo of Suresh Singh Wangjam and Sivasakhti Narayanan seamlessly interlinking near the Kerala box a few minutes later. Wangjam shot hard but it was saved comfortably by Sachin Suresh eventually.
Blasters emerged as a reinvigorated unit in the second essay of the game as they capitalised on a corner conceded by Gurpreet Singh Sandhu to draw the first blood in the encounter. Luna sent in a curling kick that Bengaluru’s Dutch midfielder Keziah nodded inside the net to hand the home team the crucial lead in the contest in the 52nd minute.
Blues’ head coach Simon Grayson reacted to the move by bringing Veendorp off for Spaniard Javi Hernandez, in a bid to reinforce the team’s frontline as they searched for the equaliser. However, Kerala grew in confidence after that goal with Luna forcing a mistake off Sandhu in the 69th minute. Amidst an offensive move, the custodian ended up touching the ball too heavily, thus giving Kerala’s skipper an empty net to shoot into and bag the second strike of the night.
Grayson substituted in youngsters like Harsh Patre and Monirul Molla to somehow scrape back into the proceedings in the last 10 minutes. However, it was their latest recruit Curtis Main, who found the back of the net in the 90th minute to help spark a brief hope of a comeback from the away team that was eventually warded off by Kerala’s defensive unit.

However, Kerala grew in confidence after that goal with Luna forcing a mistake off Sandhu in the 69th minute. Amidst an offensive move, the custodian ended up touching the ball too heavily, thus giving Kerala’s skipper an empty net to shoot into and bag the second strike of the night.
Grayson substituted in youngsters like Harsh Patre and Monirul Molla to somehow scrape back into the proceedings in the last 10 minutes. However, it was their latest recruit Curtis Main, who found the back of the net in the 90th minute to help spark a brief hope of a comeback from the away team that was eventually warded off by Kerala’s defensive unit.
