Kerala Blasters regained winning form as it prevailed 1-0 over a struggling SC East Bengal in a return leg match of ISL-8 at Tilak Maidan Stadium, Vasco, on Monday. Bosnian defender Enes Sipovic found the target off a corner in the second half, the victory taking the Kerala side to the third spot (26 points in 15 matches).
The first half ended barren as the SC EB defence stood firm in the face of the relentless Blasters attacks. The latter hardly got a clear look at the goal as the Kolkata giant’s backline stuck to its task.
Though Blasters enjoyed a greater share of ball possession, they failed to deliver the goods in the strike zone.
