Bambolim, Oct 30: A late header from new signing Koldo Obieta helped Kerala Blasters FC begin their Super Cup campaign with a hard-earned 1-0 win against a 10-man Rajasthan United FC.
In a tense opening Group D encounter, Rajasthan were reduced to ten men, with Gursimrat Singh Gill seeing a straight red card, but still pushed the Blasters all the way before Obieta’s strike in the dying minutes sealed the points.
It was a match that tested both patience and endurance. For long stretches, it seemed that the Blasters, heavy favourites against their I-League opponents, would be held to a stalemate.
