  • Kerala Blasters FC vs. Mohun Bagan Super Giant: A Rivalry Forged in ISL History

    Since the inception of the Indian Super League (ISL) in 2014, Kerala Blasters FC has shared an intense and competitive rivalry with Mohun Bagan Super Giant, formerly known as ATK and later ATK Mohun Bagan. The fixture has consistently been one of the most talked-about clashes in the league, including two ISL finals between both sides. Over the years, these encounters have played a crucial role in shaping the league’s history, making this one of the most highly anticipated fixtures every season. ATK was one of the founding teams of the ISL, later merging with Mohun Bagan in 2020 to form ATK Mohun Bagan. The club eventually rebranded in 2023 as Mohun Bagan Super Giant, adopting the legacy of Mohun Bagan while continuing its participation in the ISL. Throughout these transitions, their clashes with Kerala Blasters have remained fiercely contested, with passionate support from both sets of fans. ATK vs. Kerala Blasters (2014-2020) The rivalry began in 2014, with Kerala Blasters reaching the first-ever ISL final, only to fall short in a narrow 1-0 loss. The following seasons saw Kerala Blasters challenge ATK in several tightly contested matches. In 2016, Kerala Blasters secured an important league-stage win, showcasing their ability to stand toe-to-toe with their rivals. The season ended in a dramatic final where Kerala Blasters fought hard but were edged out in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw. Between 2017 and 2019, the matches remained competitive, with both teams achieving wins and sharing points on several occasions. ATK Mohun Bagan vs. Kerala Blasters (2020-2023) Following the merger that formed ATK Mohun Bagan in 2020, the rivalry took on a new dimension. Their first meeting under the new identity ended in a close contest, with Kerala Blasters falling short by a single goal. The matches that followed were often high-scoring and action-packed, including a hard-fought 2-2 draw in 2022. The 2022-23 season saw Kerala Blasters push their opponents to the limit, delivering competitive performances in both encounters. Mohun Bagan Super Giant vs. Kerala Blasters (2023-Present) With the club rebranding as Mohun Bagan Super Giant in 2023, Kerala Blasters continued to build upon their rivalry with them. The Blasters delivered a decisive away performance against the Mariners in December 2023, in what was a closely contested match. The 2024-25 ISL season has already seen another competitive fixture, with Kerala Blasters putting up a strong fight in a 3-2 battle on December 14, 2024.

  • Ashley Speaks: NorthEast United FC v Kerala Blasters FC

    Post-Match Press Conference Kerala Blasters FC suffered a 4-1 loss against NorthEast United FC on Sunday, 18th October 2026, at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, Guwahati, for their second fixture of the MG Indian Super League 2026-27. NorthEast United FC, building upon their home advantage, dominated over the Blasters for a vast majority of the match and earned three points, courtesy of Alaaeddine Ajaraie (15’, 70’), Antonio Moyano (45+3), and Aman CK (83’). Momo Yansane (60’) scored the solitary goal for the Blasters after taking a shot from distance, off a flick from Luna. NorthEast United, who dealt the later stages of the game professionally, ensured that Blasters did not breach their goal further. Following the loss, Ashley Westwood spoke on the team’s performance, the prerequisites of a proper preseason and shared his optimism on the upcoming games. Here is a report of the post-match presser of the match between NorthEast United FC and Kerala Blasters FC. Thoughts on the game Speaking after the match, Ashley conceded that the Blasters deserved the defeat following an off-colour performance. However, the manager highlighted the squad’s character in a stronger second-half effort to make it 2-1, maintaining that missed opportunities ultimately cost them a potential comeback. I think that’s just where we are in our season. Obviously, assembled late, there’s no excuses. We lost. We deserved to lose on the first half’s performance. We had a nice reaction after half-time. We scored the goal to make it 2-1. If we could have got another goal with the chances we created, it would have ended differently. We didn’t deserve to win, but at least we showed some reaction. On the team’s fitness improvement and preseason Addressing the squad’s physical conditioning, Ashley admitted that an unsatisfactory preseason had left several players lacking match fitness. He highlighted the vital importance of a thorough preseason campaign, noting that it provides the necessary foundation to test tactical combinations and foster team chemistry. Moving forward, he expressed confidence that the group would learn from these early setbacks, raise their fitness standards, and translate those improvements into positive results. Coming from a low state of fitness, we’ve got to learn about the players. We’ve got loads of new players. We’ve obviously not practised to find out about the new players. Every game, every training session, certainly in defeats, you learn more and more about your team. You learn more and more about who you need to change or swap or give other chances to other people. That’s the reason you have pre-season. That’s the reason you have pre-season friendlies, to learn. You can’t expect to bring five new foreigners. That’s including Luna for me. I don’t know, eight, nine new Indians and expect to click your fingers and start straight away. I’ll learn, we’ll get it right, we’ll watch, we’ll analyse, and we’ll improve again from next week. We’re getting better with our fitness. Lads are lasting 90 minutes, not getting cramps. We’re making different substitutions to try different combinations and solutions and see who’s suited for where. Looking ahead Looking ahead, Kerala Blasters host Mumbai City FC on October 25 before traveling to face Chennaiyin FC on October 31. Despite the recent setback, Ashley struck an optimistic tone, assuring supporters that a single defeat will not derail their campaign. He insisted that with increased work rate and tactical discipline, the squad has every capability to bounce back in the upcoming fixtures. Like I say, this is football. You can’t win every game. We’ve got two more games before we have a little bit of a rest so we can do a bit of catch-up fitness-wise. If we go on to win a game and draw, for example, then you’d have to look at that and go eight points from a possible 12 or seven points, whatever it may be. It would be a good return considering what we’ve done. All we’ve got to do is stay in touch. One loss is not going to change our season. We build on it. We don’t be too down. We just work and work harder.

  • Match Preview: NorthEast United FC vs Kerala Blasters FC

    Kerala Blasters FC will face NorthEast United FC on the 18th October, 2026 at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, Guwahati, for their second game of the MG Indian Super League (ISL) 2026-27 season. The Blasters head into this fixture after a 2-0 win against Inter Kashi, courtesy of captain Vibin Mohanan and debutant Andre Green finding the back of the net to take the Blasters to the top of the league table at the end of Gameweek 1. Ashley Westwood handed debuts to summer arrivals Andre Green, Nebojša Kosović, James Bolton, Paul Ramfangzauva, Mohammed Sanan, Momo Yansane and Sumit Sharma last game, with English forward Green capping off his club debut with a late stoppage-time goal and Bolton providing the defensive stability to preserve the clean sheet. Blasters will be looking forward to remaining consistent and extending their winning streak to maintain the early momentum as the league gathers pace. The team heads into Guwahati eyeing all three points after three days of training in Kolkata. Rival Watch NorthEast United arrive for this game after a winning start, where they snatched a late 1-0 winner against Mohun Bagan SG. Under Juan Pedro Benali, NorthEast United rely on quick transitions and high pressing. Jithin MS offers dynamism, while Alaaeddine Ajaraie provides a constant threat in the final third. Gurmeet Singh anchors the backline with crucial shot-stopping, complemented by Asheer Akhtar’s defensive resilience. In essence, the Highlanders will remain a potent threat capable of hurting opponents if afforded space. The Blasters’ defensive unit is expected to have a busy hour on the pitch, and they must remain alert and organised to ensure the hosts are neutralised, whenever they try to threaten. Players to Watch Out For Vibin Mohanan The local lad, Vibin Mohanan stepped on to the pitch wearing the captain’s armband last game and provided the team with multiple offensive initiatives that kept the opponents on alert. Vibin had the presence of mind to anticipate a cross from the right and broke the deadlock of the game, scoring the first goal for the Blasters in the MG ISL 2026-27. Korou Singh Korou returned back to the Blasters’ starting eleven after missing a large part of the previous season, and the 19-year-old showed no signs of missing out for a long period. Korou looked at ease right from the first whistle and was excellent on the flanks, pairing up with Vibin. Korou notably provided a carpet cut-back to Vibin in the 18th minute, which the skipper converted, marking Korou’s 4th assist in Blasters threads. Freddy Lallawmawma Freddy was the backbone of the Blasters midfield and put in an energetic performance, driving the team’s play and contributing at both ends of the pitch. In several instances, he ventured into the final third and even tried his luck by taking some shots from distance, piling the pressure upon the opponents and forcing errors from them. Word from the Boss “We’ve won, but there are many things to work on. We’re not quite there yet. It’s quite far off where we want to be. We’ve shown good characteristics that we can keep a clean sheet. We can score goals. And that’s all pluses. And, of course, going into the game, people lasting 90 minutes so early on, people getting fitter. So, all good credit and positives that we take from it,” Ashley Westwood, Head Coach. “We kept a clean sheet, so it was a good start to the season. And we’re trying to improve because new players are coming in, so we’re trying to help each other at the back. Bolton came in, and he’s a great leader at the back, so he’s helping and guiding us. It’s a plus point for all the players playing at the back, learning from him on and off the pitch. And, yes, he’s helping, and we’re just focusing on ourselves, and we’re going to keep a clean sheet again,” said Aiban Dohling. Head-to-Head Record The overall head-to-head statistics, predominantly ending in draws, have seen the Blasters dominate over the Highlanders with 9 wins in their 25 meetings.
