The 2022-23 Indian Super League opened with Kerala Blasters beating East Bengal 3-1 in Kochi. The opening goal was scored in the 72nd minute after a barren first half. Adrien Luna latched onto an inch-perfect long ball from Harmanjot Singh Khabra, which found him inside the opposition penalty box. Luna slotted it home and dedicated his goal to his daughter.
Ivan doubled the lead in the 82nd minute before Alex Lima's scorching left-footed pile driver from a loose ball off a flag-kick helped East Bengal pull one back in the 87th minute. But in the 89th minute, Ivan's bullet punch from nearly 25 yards beat the East Bengal goalkeeper to seal the issue.
