Bengaluru FC play out 1-1 draw with Kerala Blasters

BAMBOLIM: Bengaluru FC and Kerala Blasters FC played a 1-1 draw in the 2021-22 Indian Super League (ISL) match at the Athletic Stadium in Bambolim, Goa on Sunday. In a matter of four minutes, Bengaluru FC forward Ashique Kuruniyan (84' and 88' Own Goal) first scored for his team and then for the opposition. Bengaluru now have four points from three games but Blasters still remain winless.

Bengaluru coach Marco Pezzauioli, on the back of the 3-1 defeat at the hands of Odisha, brought in more creativity with Iman Basafa slotting into midfield while Cleiton Silva returned to lead the line.

Kerala Blasters too had a couple of changes. Puitea featured alongside Jeakson Singh in a double-pivot role as Alvaro Vazquez replaced Jorge Pereyra Diaz.

Bengaluru remained on top with superior ball possession early on but Blasters had Jeakson Singh almost create a favourable chance under two minutes itself. Ashique Kuruniyan's pace kept former teammate Harmanjot Singh Khabra on check with Iman Basafa looking settled in dictating play from the centre of the pitch. IANS
