Speaking about the match, the Blasters head coach Eelco Schattorie expressed his satisfaction on grabbing the three points. He also mentioned that he hoped to carve out confidence from this high-scoring fixture.
The hosts conceded a goal in the 14th minute but got on level terms within the next 20 minutes. The side came back from behind to collect points in a similar fashion, against ATK and Jamshedpur too. Schattorie felt nothing changed for Blasters and the mentality was right. He stated,
The injury-struck squad has been a nightmare for the Dutchman right from the beginning of the season. Most of the games have seen a Blasters player being taken off with an injury. Schattorie says the forced changes are making things difficult for the side.
The head coach had Gianni Zuiverloon on the field after two months. The centre-back was paired up with Vlatkor Drobarov in defence. Schattorie heaped praise on the player stating he could make a difference.
Kerala Blasters will now face league toppers ATK in Kolkata on the 12th of January.
