Adrian Luna, Dimitrios Diamantakos, and Ivan Kalyuzhnyi ensured three points for Kerala Blasters in their 3-1 win over FC Goa. Noah Sadoui was the Gaurs' solitary goal-scorer. This win propels the Yellow Army to 5th position, just behind FC Goa in 4th.
It was Carlos Pena's men and their wasteful finishing which cost them at least a point. At the very end of the first half, Ivan Vukomanovic's men scored two goals in quick succession and went into the break with a resounding lead, thanks to Luna and Diamantakos.
Right after the start of the second half, Kalyuzhnyi thumped in one of his trademarked long-rangers past Dheeraj Singh and gave Kerala its third goal. Goa's Sadoui gave a glimpse of hope soon after with an accurate header, but that was it from the visiting side.
