Kerala Blasters 3-2 Odisha FC Highlights, ISL 2024-25: Noah's Extra-Time Goal Wins It For KBFC

The Indian Super League match will kick off at 7:30pm IST, and can be live streamed on the Jio Cinema app and website in India. It will be live telecast on the Sports18 network in India.

Here's how the Blasters and the Kalinga Warriors line up for the kick-off in Kochi:

The two teams have played against each other 12 times in the ISL. Kerala Blasters FC and Odisha FC have won four games each, whereas the rest of the matches have produced draws. An average of 3.33 goals has been scored per game in this fixture.

Kochi is stunned into silence in the fourth minute, as Odisha latch onto a defensive error from the Blasters. The ball bounces kindly for Jerry Mawihmingthanga in the Kerala box, and he makes no mistake to put the Kalinga Warriors ahead.

The early goal they have conceded has certainly rattled the Blasters, who have since been trying hard to make inroads in the Odisha box, but have been defied by the visitors' organised backline. No chance of substance yet for the hosts, as we head into the first drinks break at the half-hour mark.

We head into the mid-game interval with Odisha FC in the lead, though only by Jerry Mawihmingthanga's solitary goal. Lots to think about for Kerala Blasters in the interval, as they will look for an equaliser and also a possible winner in the second half. Stay tuned.

An early chance for the Blasters in the second half goes abegging. A probing run from Luna down the right flank creates an opening, and he zooms in to send a superb ball across the face of the Odisha goal. But there are no takers from Kerala, and Amey Ranawade puts it out of danger for the visitors.

The Blasters are back in it. A through ball from Korou Singh puts Kwame Peprah in a great position to score, and the Ghanaian striker makes no mistake to level things up in the 60th minute. And the Manjappada army roars in delight in Kochi.

The number 9 comes to the party in style. Jesus Jimenez, who came on as a substitution, scores in the 73rd minute to put the Blasters in front. A headed ball from Noah Sadaoui was the assist for Jimenez, who moved smartly to anticipate where it would fall.

It's all happening at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi. Brazilian forward Dorielton pounces on a weak parry from Blasters goalie Sachin Suresh to put the ball in the net and draw Odisha level at 2-2. But soon after, Carlos Delgado is ejected with a second yellow card for dissent. Odisha now have 10 men on the pitch for the final few minutes. Can Kerala capitalise?

The Blasters bounce back again! Noah Sadaoui puts them in front, decisively, in the fifth minute of added time. His right-footed shot from the left side of the box loops into the bottom right corner, after an assist from Vibin Mohanan. And the final whistle goes off. Kerala win, and jump to the eighth spot.
