ISL: East Bengal FC Get The Better Of Kerala Blasters FC In Six-goal Thriller
A brace each by Saul Crespo and Naorem Mahesh Singh ensured that the Red & Gold Brigade kept their playoff hopes alive after garnering only their second win in their last five matches. East Bengal FC has now moved to 21 points from 20 matches, and their upcoming fixtures against Bengaluru FC and Punjab FC will be critical to see if they manage to break into the top-six.
The Carles Cuadrat-coached side began gaining a hold over the proceedings particularly in the second half, when they struck the back of the net thrice to beat the home side. However, it was the home side that had gotten the first foot ahead in the contest. Rahul KP, operating through the right flank, pounced upon an East Bengal FC backline that was all over the place. The attacker delivered a ball to Fedor Cernych who booted it beyond Karanjit Singh to open the scoring.
