Summary
The Indian Super League for the 2025/26 season saw Mohun Bagan battle it out with Kerala Blasters in the opening match at the Yuva Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata. Following a series of events and clouds of uncertainty over the league's restart, this game was the much-needed injection for all the Indian football fans.
Mohun Bagan asserted their dominance early on, having the ball for most of the time with them. Kerala Blasters were happy to sit behind in a low-block and defend and hurt the Green & Maroon Brigade side on deadly counters.
However, Sergio Lobera's side maintained pressure on the Kerala defence with their slick passing and even had a couple of shots on target. Their efforts bear fruit as Dimitri Petratos found Jamie Maclaren in the middle of the penalty box, and the Australian took a sharp turn before finishing it with his left foot in the 37th minute of the game.
Kerala Blasters tried to come out of their blocks and build something meaningful, but Lobera's men were concentrated enough and dealt with the threats quite easily. Tom Aldred made it two on the day for the Mariners with a last-minute header to cap off a delightful performance.
Kerala's goalkeeper, Sachin Suresh, tried his level best to keep the scoreline to just 2-0, pulling off some extraordinary saves to keep his side in the game.
