Blasters bag all 3 points
What an astounding half it was for Kerala Blasters FC. They gave their opponents no chance to come back in the contest. From one-goal lead in the first half, the hosts ended here with three goals. A solo effort from Sahal Abdul Samad and a second from Matej Poplatnik's volley had solidified their stronghold on the game and ensured the win respectively. Chennaiyin FC though tried hard at the ending moments to get at least 1 goal but one would say it wasn't their day today. There was a good chance for the visitors to find consolation in the last minute of stoppage time but their hopes were brought down by the sidebar as well as good goalkeeping. Thus it has finished 3-0 and Kerala Blasters FC have bagged all 3 points.

GOALLL!!!!
What is better than a two-goal lead, a three-goal lead! Kerala Blasters FC is totally on top of their opponents now. Sahal Abdul Samad the architect and the finisher of this goal. The youngster runs in dangerously inside the opponent's half. He sees a defender is chargin on him so he passes it to Seiminlen Doungel to his right. Doungel tries to play it the first time to Sahal but there are three defenders around him. Luckily for Seiminlen the ball deflects off Tondonba Singh and falls kidly on the path of Sahal Abdul Samad. Samad is one on one with the keeper and he takes the shot. He blasts it on the right corner to seal this game for the home side.

Bullet!!!
Kerala Blasters FC looks to build an attack around the right flank through Matej Poplatnik but was troubled by the defender. He plays it back to his friend who looks to cross it but is headed out towards Courage Pekuson. Pekuson attempts a volley on goal. The ball travels like a bullet towards Karanjit Singh. The keeper though manages to keep it out.

Clash of the bottom placed sides
Hello and welcome all to Match 77. Today, Kerala Blasters FC will host Chennaiyin FC in their home ground. Both teams have had a disastrous campaign and have struggled to win games. Kerala are yet to win a match in their own backyard this campaign. They are the only team left in the league to win at home. The hosts will look to end their winless run tonight. Coming to the visitors, they have won just twice this term. They put in a great performance against Bengaluru FC and would like to repeat that here. Their striker Jeje scored in the last match against Bengaluru to end his goal drought. But his record against the hosts is very poor as he has managed to score just a goal off his 10 games against them. Pride is at stake here in this game and both teams will be eyeing a win here and looking to avoid the dreaded last place.
