FC Goa silence Kerala Blasters with victory and clean-sheet in Kochi

FC Goa continued their impressive run in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25 season with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Kerala Blasters at Kochi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. This win propelled the Gaurs to fifth place in the points table with 15 points from nine matches.

FC Goa’s Boris Singh scored the decisive goal in the 40th minute, deceiving Kerala’s goalkeeper Sachin Suresh. Singh’s exceptional performance included a stellar defensive shift, neutralizing Kerala’s Noah Sadaoui.

The FC Goa defensive unit, led by captain Odei Onaindia and goalkeeper Hrithik Tiwari, was a fortress, rendering Kerala’s attacking trio ineffective. Ayush Chhetri showcased flair and composure in midfield, combining well with the attacking unit.

Hrithik Tiwari made a crucial save, palming away a dangerous free-kick by Adrian Luna. Kerala’s Sandeep Singh squandered a late chance, firing wide despite having two clear passing options.
