KOCHI: Kerala Blasters FC returned to winning ways with a dominant 3-0 triumph over Mohammedan Sporting at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 season on Sunday, December 22, 2024. With this win, the home team completed a league double over Mohammedan Sporting this season.

A stellar second half performance from Kerala Blasters FC saw the likes of Noah Sadaoui and Alexandre Coeff get on the scoresheet along with an own goal from Bhaskar Roy.

Kerala Blasters FC finally broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute courtesy of an error from Bhaskar Roy. The Mohammedan Sporting custodian misjudged a corner kick from Luna as he tried to punch it out instead of gathering the ball. Therefore he deflected the ball in his own net.

The hosts doubled their lead in the 80th minute when Korou found Noah in the penalty area after Luna’s corner kick was cleared away. The Moroccan was in acres of space to direct a thunderous header into the bottom right corner.

Kerala Blasters FC brought in Alexandre Coeff and Lalthanmawia Renthlei to close out the game. The Frenchman made an instant impact as he scored the third goal for the hosts in the 90th minute.

Mohammedan Sporting will play Odisha FC on December 27, whereas Kerala Blasters will face Jamshedpur FC on December 29.
