Kerala Blasters was just seconds away from three points in its last match but it ended in a 2-2 draw, with Joni Kauko netting that equaliser for ATK Mohun Bagan. That means the men from Kochi remain fourth as the battles for the semifinal slots intensify.
After that close encounter, they are up against another strong rival on Tuesday at Bamoblim’s GMC Athletic Stadium, where they come face to face with table-topper Hyderabad FC, which has 32 points but has played a game more than Jamshedpur FC (31) and ATK Mohun Bagan (30). Blasters is on 27 points.
In this business end of the tournament, Ivan Vukomanovic’s boys will look to score every point that they can.
