Ivan Vukomanovic\u2019s men have regained their top spot in the points table after this victory at Tilak Maidan. They were the visiting team on Wednesday but never acted that way as they were dominating the ball and were successful in keeping a clean sheet. Kerala Blasters defeated Odisha FC by 2-0 as both the goals were scored in the first half only.<\/p>\n<p>Since the referee\u2019s whistle, Kerala Blasters were keeping possession which was expected from the team in excellent form. They also started creating some good chances but it wasn\u2019t enough for them to take the lead against the host (Odisha FC). But, in the 28th minute, the first goal of the game came and it came from an Indian defender named Nishu Kumar. It was a brilliant goal by the Kerala Blasters\u2019 left-back as it helped them take a massive lead against the team currently standing in the 8th position (Odisha FC).<\/p>\n<p>Vukomanovic\u2019s men did find another goal as again an Indian defender Harmanjot Khabra named himself on the scoresheet. The strikers went goalless in the game as both the goals which were scored in this match were from defenders. However, Khabra\u2019s goal was the last goal of the game which came in the 40th minute. Odisha FC wasn\u2019t bad they were just unlucky as they also created enough chances but couldn\u2019t find the goal they were looking for.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Unbeaten in \ud83d\udd1f<br \/>Back-to-back wins \ud83c\udd86<br \/>Back-to-back clean sheets \ud83d\udcaa\ud83c\udffb<\/p>\n<p>It's a good time to be a Blaster! \ud83d\ude0c<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/OFCKBFC?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#OFCKBFC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/YennumYellow?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#YennumYellow<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/KBFC?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#KBFC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E0%B4%95%E0%B5%87%E0%B4%B0%E0%B4%B3%E0%B4%AC%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%B2%E0%B4%BE%E0%B4%B8%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%B1%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%B1%E0%B5%87%E0%B4%B4%E0%B5%8D%E0%B4%B8?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u0d15\u0d47\u0d30\u0d33\u0d2c\u0d4d\u0d32\u0d3e\u0d38\u0d4d\u0d31\u0d4d\u0d31\u0d47\u0d34\u0d4d\u0d38<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/HkT8IJKeWw\">pic.twitter.com\/HkT8IJKeWw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Kerala Blasters FC (@KeralaBlasters) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KeralaBlasters\/status\/1481296389024153600?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 12, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>With this victory, Kerala Blasters have overtaken Jamshedpur in the points table and have gone in the first position.
