Dimitrios Diamantakos watched painfully from the bench as the Kerala Blasters kept missing one chance after another. And when he came in, just before the hour mark, the Greek forward appeared to be in a hurry. He scored the equaliser that brought back the home side back to life. And some 20 minutes later, Adrian Luna produced a beauty that saw the Blasters defeat Odisha 2-1 in the Indian Super League at the Nehru Stadium here on Friday night.
It was a happy return for Blasters’ head coach Ivan Vukomanovic who was back in the dugout after completing his 10-match ban. The victory also saw the home side jump from the fifth spot to second in the league ladder.
