For a couple of years now, Kerala Blasters have been crying out for a player like Bartholomew Ogbeche. Now that they got him, he showed on day one why they were crying out for that lethal striker.

The Blasters were second best for large parts of a curious game against ATK, but the game was decided by a moment of pure brilliance from Ogbeche, who seemed to receive the ball in a harmless position on the edge of the box, only to rifle a bullet past Arindam Bhattacharja, for what was the eventual winner.

On nine out of ten days, he would have also rescued the Blasters a point in their second game, but he was denied by Amrinder's brilliance.

It was a new role for Ferran Corominas in FC Goa's season opener against Chennaiyin FC. With three regular midfielders missing through injury or suspension, Sergio Lobera decided that Coro would have a more withdrawn role - more as a no.10, with Manvir Singh leading the line.

That didn't hamper the Spaniard at all. He was once again elusive with his movement, crisp with his passing, superb with his link-up play and of course, he got his customary goal. Tasty start to the season from the ISL's all-time top-scorer.
