Blasters fans caught in the infamous act

The derby game between Kerala Blasters and Chennaiyin FC in the 2016 edition of the ISL played host to a very iconic sight at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. On the wake of the clash between the Kerala players and Chennaiyin FC head coach Marco Materazzi in the reverse fixture, the fans of the home side opted to wear printed masks of Zinedine Zidane in a dig aimed at the former World Cup winner.

At the end of the final whistle, it was the Kerala fans who had the last laugh as they completed a comeback from 1-0 down and secured all three points on the night courtesy of goals from Boris Kadio and local boy CK Vineeth, who grabbed a brace towards the dying moments of the game.

However, the spotlight still remained on the 35,000 fans who printed out the masks in a successful attempt to irk the opposition manager who commented after the game that he would rather spend that much money on food.
