The ease of the Blasters, the toughness of Mumbai
With yesterday’s win, the chances of Kerala Blasters became active, while the chances of defending champions Mumbai City dimmed. The Yellows won the match by three goals to one against Mumbai. Alvaro Vasquez’s double and Sahal Abdul Samad’s wonder goal gave the Blasters the lead. This is the first time the Kerala Blasters have beaten Mumbai City FC in a single season.
The Blasters can secure a place in the semi-finals even if they draw against ninth-placed FC Goa in the final. If the Blasters draw the match and Mumbai beat Hyderabad, both teams will have 34 points each. Still, a win in both quarters would save the Blasters. The Blasters advance to the semis.
