Awards
The Club Award goes to FC Goa as they won the game. Ferran Corominas gets the Limitless Player of the Match Award. The Winning Pass of the Match Award goes to Brandon Fernandes and Mohamad Rakip receives the Emerging Player of the Match Award. Ahmed Jahouh, undoubtedly, is the Hero of the Match.
FC Goa seal the deal!
A convincing win for the Gaurs. They have once again played a ruthless brand of football to outclass their opponent. This match was thoroughly bossed by them from the word go. Their prolific goalscorer, Ferran Corominas opened the account in the 22nd minute which was doubled three minutes later by Edu Bedia. The second half started with the home team in a 2-goal lead but they never took the foot off the pedal. The Kerala defense was pressurized immensely with attacks after attacks and in the 78th minute, Hugo Boumous slotted home Goa's third goal. This game sums up Kerala's season - Flavourless in the attacking third, inefficient at the back. They failed miserably yet again and didn't manage a single shot on target in this contest. FC Goa after gaining their fifth clean sheet in a row are looking like a potent unit as they storm into the semifinal.

Crossbar

Everybody's heart skipped a beat as the ball made its way floating in the air but it hits the crossbar. The deflection comes towards Zaid who charges but fails to put it in. Has hurt himself in the process as well.
85'

GOALLLLL!!!!!!
FC Goa have further extended their lead in this game. They have made it a three-goal cushion. Hugo Boumous with his crazy footwork has alone run through Kerala Blasters' defence and successfully finds the back of the net. He was running from the left wing as he gets in the box, dribbles past a defender and then clips in a shot towards the near post. The ball kisses the post and rolls in.

Counter attack
Ahmed Jahouh just keeps us impressing with his long balls! A long ball from him is collected by Ferran Corominas. Coro runs to the box along with a defender to his right. He then gets past him, dribbles the keeper but then loses it in a tackle from Matej Poplatnik. It was a really good chance for him to make it 3-0.
57'
Foul
A bad challenge by Carlos Pena on Matej Poplatnik as Pena jabs on Poplatnik's foot from behind. The play is immediately stopped by the referee.
53'
Off target
Sahal Abdul Samad, the youngster with the shot. Sahal runs to his left with the ball as he fires it goalwards with his left foot. The shot was albeit going over the bar but the keeper finds it safe to offer a touch on it. A corner for Kerala Blasters FC.
49'
Wonder ball
Ahmed Jahouh again with his delightful through ball pierces Kerala Blasters FC's defence as the ball makes it to Jackichand Singh just outside the box. Jackichand though fails to do any damage as he loses it in a challenge.
48'
On back foot
With FC Goa having the ball's possession, Kerala Blasters FC are playing in the defensive mode. Only, Matej Poplatnik is running in the opposition half for the ball.

Second half
Kerala Blasters FC will start the second half and hope to make a comeback in this game.
FC Goa dominate the half
Total dominance by the hosts. We were expecting goals in this match and FC Goa have taken the full responsibility here to make it happen. Coro struck first to take the lead and courtesy a defensive error from Kerala, Edu Bedia scored the second and made it a two-goal cushion. As for the visitors, an offside goal scored by Slavisa Stojanovic was the closest they got. Still a lot of action remains, we might get to see a few more goals here. Stay tuned with us for that.

38'
A cross
Slavisa Stojanovic's cross from the right flank nearly made it till Seiminlen Doungel in the box. It was defended out for a corner by a Blasters' defender. Kerala Blasters FC are looking for a comeback, can they build something from this corner?
34'
Free kick
Brandon Fernandes to take the free kick from the right wing, just outside the box. A delightful ball in the box but could have earned better results. It was headed out by Kerala's defender.

FC Goa on top of their opposition
FC Goa are totally dominating the game from here. Can we see a few more goals before half time?
25'
GOALLLLL!!!!!!
It's just been three minutes from their first goal and FC Goa have got their second of this game. A poor back pass from Anas Edathodika made it difficult for the keeper to clear. Ferran Corominas is again the man who recovers it in the box and passes it to Edu Bedia. Edu just needed to whip that one in the empty net which he does with simplicity.

Finds the net but it's off side
Slavisa Stojanovic speeds in with the ball from the left and then nudges it back in the path of Matej Poplatnik. It's a nice one-two between the two as the ball is once again played back to Stojanovic who is inside the box. He shoots and the keeper blocks it. Although the ball still deflects at the back of the net. The linesman though has his flag raised. A tough call. The replays say something else.
18'
Foul
The referee stops the play as he saw Cyril Kali challenging Edu Bedia by wrong means.
16'
A cross gets cleared
Jackichand Singh is turning out to be a key player for FC Goa in this match. Cross from him inside the box fails to find any teammate as it was headed out by Sandesh Jhingan from harm's way.
12'
Getting closer
Jackichand Singh again from the box fires one on the far post. This time his shot was better than the last one as he has managed to hit the sidebar. FC Goa getting closer with this attack.
10'
Nearly a goal
Jackichand Singh times his run sweetly beating Kerala's offside trap. The long ball from Ahmed Jahouh was very well collected by Jackichand who holds off Lalruatthara back and fires a shot towards goal. But it was wide of the far post.
6'
Lovely run
Brandon Fernandes with his delightful run makes it to opponent's half but Sahal Abdul Samad defends it out in time to prevent any damage. The Kerala Blasters FC defenders on their toes now.

FC Goa looking to seal the spot in semis!
Match 80 of this edition's Indian Super League will see FC Goa welcoming Kerala Blasters. The Gaurs are second on the table and a win here will not only take them to the top of the league but will also book their place in the semi-final. The hosts have kept 4 clean sheets in their last 4 games and one today will see them equal the record of most consecutive clean sheets for them in a season. Their form at home this campaign has been very good as they have picked 16 points out of the possible 21, losing just once. Their star-striker and the prolific scorer, Corominas just loves playing against the Blasters and has scored 6 goals against them in just 3 matches. Coming to the visitors, it has been a tough campaign for them and they are second from the bottom in the league table. They will look to win this game to go above Delhi Dynamos FC and stay away from the last spot. The Manjappadas come into this one on the back of an impressive win against Chennaiyin FC which was only their second win of the season. It will be a tough task for the Blasters after looking at their record in Goa. They have conceded 11 goals in 4 matches at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. In the H2H battle, the Blasters have a poor record against FC Goa, having won just 3 out of the 9 games. If history is anything to go by, this game will definitely have goals in it as 33 goals have been scored in this fixture so far. Will the Blasters blast FC Goa or will FC Goa continue their dominance against them? The match begins in a while.
