90+9' That was a bad tackle from Rahul flying towards Majcen. They clash and both go down. It looked really bad and the teams almost got into a heated argument. The coach gets involved to calm the players and the referees deliberate on the foul for a while and give a yellow card to Rahul.

50' Peprah was almost invisible in the first half and even though he was such an important player for the men in yellow in the Durand Cup, Stahre had well enough reasons to take him off in this game. His substitutions had to take courage and fans will hope that they work.

Kerala Blasters looked ordinary despite having the rich talent of Noah Sadaoui and Kwame Peprah in attack. KBFC defense, on the other hand, has been impressive with Milos Drincic ticking all the boxes. Visitors Punjab FC, however, looked more convincing and were closer to the goal in front of a fullhouse Kaloor crowd as their forward line grew in confidence after soaking in early pressure too well from the hosts.
