The Blasters extended their unbeaten run to five matches with a commanding 3-1 win over Mohammedan Sporting Club at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Sunday night.
Despite dominating large spells of the first half, the Blasters found themselves behind in the 42nd minute after Mahitosh Roy struck from distance for the visitors. The response, however, was immediate.
Just two minutes later, Francisco Feuillassier brought Blasters level, calmly finishing off a perfectly weighted through ball from Kévin Yoke to ensure the sides went into the break tied at 1-1.
The second half belonged to KBFC.
Ashley Westwood’s men resumed with intensity and control, continuing to dictate possession and create chances. Their pressure paid off in the 58th minute when Víctor Bertomeu rose highest to head home Yoke’s pinpoint delivery and give Blasters the lead.
With momentum firmly in their favour, the hosts continued to push forward. Substitute Sreekuttan M S nearly added a third soon after, rattling the crossbar with a deflected effort.
The youngster eventually got his goal in the 74th minute. Feuillassier turned provider this time, lifting a clever ball into the box for Sreekuttan to tap home and cap off a well-worked move.
Mohammedan’s night went from bad to worse late on when Amarjit Singh was sent off after receiving a second yellow card, as the Blasters comfortably saw out the remainder of the contest.
Franchu was named Player of the Match after an influential display that included a goal and an assist, while Yoke’s creativity proved central to Kerala’s attacking dominance with two assists to his name.
The result moves Kerala Blasters FC up to 8th in the Indian Super League standings with 14 points from 12 matches.
