With centre-back Milos Drincic scoring the match-winner and almost producing another in the last game, there was a comment in Tuesday’s pre-match media conference here on how a defender was winning a match for Kerala Blasters.
Hearing this, head coach Ivan Vukomanovic joked that perhaps the team’s Greek striker Dimitrios Diamantakos should be sent to defend.
One is not sure whether Diamantakos heard that but he pulled out the home side from the deep with two goals on Wednesday night as Blasters overcame a 1-3 deficit to hold Chennaiyin 3-3 in the ISL at the Nehru Stadium here.
