77' GOAL! Super Ogbeche at it again. A pin-point cross from Holicharan Narzary right at the spot for Bartholomew Ogbeche who rises higher than anybody and heads it inside the net as Vishal Kaith watches on. Game on here in Kochi.

He connects well with it but his efforts comes rattling out off the post.

63' Sahil Abdul Samad replaces Muhammad Rakip.

HALF TIME : Kerala Blasters 0-3 Chennaiyin FC

A seemingly evenly matched half turned suddenly turned on its head as Chennai score three goals in three minutes owing to Kerala's shabby defensive and goalkeeping display.

Second-half on the other side.

45+1' GOAL! Kerala Blasters defence in complete shambles. Anirudh Thapa's defence splits open the high line defence and allows Chennaiyin FC to have three forwards in line with no defenders on goal. Crivallero keeps his calm and finishes his chance in unison to make it 3-0.

46' Additional Time : 1 Minute.

45' GOAL! Nerijus Valskis finds Rafael Crivellaro who holds up play and plays it back to Valskis who bangs it in for 2-0.

42' Raju Gaekwad booked.

40' GOAL! Chennaiyin FC. That has to be one of the most softest goals ever in the ISL history. Holicharan Narzary provides the ball to TP Rahanesh with a backless and Rehenesh in his careless approach lets the ball end up with Crivellaro who finishes it off with ease with no pressure whatsoever.

38' Sergio Cidoncha pushes Anirudh Thapa when is in a movement. His foot gets stuck on the turf and he stretches and twists his foot. That looked bad and he is down in pain. This can be the end of his participation in this game.

36' The free-kick is swung in and Chennaiyin get rid of the danger with ease.

34' Big opportunity here for Kerala Blasters as they get a free-kick just outside the 18-yard box on the right side.

30' Rafael Crivellaro brought down by Mohammed Rakip in the middle of the pitch. Just a regular midfield skirmish.

28' Nerijus Valskis twists, turns and wriggles inside the Kerala box but is eventually blocked in a shrewd manner by Gianni Zuiverloon to cut off the imminent danger from the Lithuanian footballer.

24' Rafael Crivellaro swings in a free-kick from the deeper part of the pitch into the danger area. Gianni Zuiverloon rises high and bails his side out of danger.

22' Seityasen Singh puts a dangerous cross in at the far post towards Messi Bouli, he gets to it but tumbles as Jerry Lalrinzuala puts a sliding tackle. The ball deflects off something and goes to the centre where Eli Sabia clears it.

19' First corner of the game and it goes to the away side. Rafael Crivellaro takes the free kick but it is a poor one as it is cleared at the front post by Halicharan Narzary.

16' First real attack from Chennaiyin FC. Jerry Lalrinzuala plays a through ball on the left to find Lallianzuala Chhangte, he puts it inside the box first time. Nerijus Valskis gets to it before the defender but cannot keep his header on target.

14' Seityasen Singh brings down Anirudh Thapa. Penalised.

11' Gianni Zuiverloon has a go at goal. Just over the target.

8' Eli Sabia with a vital block. Halicharan Narzary plays a good ball inside the box on the right to find Messi Bouli, who is crowded around. He takes a touch and then tries to hit one on target but Eli Sabia gets in the way of it.

7' Bartholomew Ogbeche squares it on the left flank from the centre towards Jessel Carneiro who tries to put a cross first time. He cannot get his accuracy right and hits it straight into the hands of Vishal Kaith.

5' Jessel Carneiro takes the free kick and sends an aerial ball which Messi Bouli heads it around the centre but Lucian Goian heads it out of danger. Not a very threatening one but a mild warning from the home side.

2' Anirudh Thapa penalised for a foul on Sergio Cidoncha.

0' Kick-off.
