The Blasters will look to build on their winning start to the AIFF Super Cup campaign when they face Sporting Club Delhi in their second group fixture in Goa. The Blasters opened their account with a 1–0 victory over Rajasthan United, courtesy of a late header from Koldo Obieta, and will aim to maintain that early momentum as the competition gathers pace.
Head Coach David Catala’s side showed control and patience in their opening outing, growing into the game before finding the breakthrough through their Spanish striker. The defensive organisation, led by Juan Rodriguez and Bikash Yumnam, ensured a clean sheet — a positive platform as the team continues to build rhythm.
Their next challenge, Sporting Club Delhi, come into the tie seeking a response after a difficult opening game that saw them fall 4–1 to Mumbai City FC. Midfielder Andrei Alba provided the lone consolation in the second half — and remains the side’s focal point, dictating play with his passing range and composure in possession.
Under Tomasz Tchorz, Sporting Club Delhi typically alternate between a 4-3-3 and 5-3-2 setup, prioritising build-up play through the lines and wide progression. Augustine Lalrochana offers pace and directness down the right, while Isaac Vanmalsawma provides delivery from the left half-space. Rafael Ribeiro adds aerial presence at the back, complemented by Alex Saji’s aggression and recovery speed. Despite their heavy defeat in the opener, Delhi possess players capable of hurting opponents if afforded space.
For Kerala Blasters, this fixture presents another opportunity to refine their tempo, build consistency, and reinforce their growing cohesion as a unit. With leadership spread across the group through captains Adrian Luna, Noah Sadaoui, Danish Farooq, and Bikash Yumnam, the Blasters will be determined to extend their winning start and take a decisive step toward the knockout stages.
