The Nizams end their league campaign with an impressive away win.

Kerala Blasters lost their final league fixture of the ISL 2022-23 season against Hyderabad FC by a 1-0 scoreline. Both teams had already secured playoff qualification but that did not stop them from delivering an entertaining match at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi on Sunday.

Borja Herrera’s goal was the difference between the two teams. It was a physical game with tackles flying around from both sets of players. In the end, the Yellow Army had to succumb to a defeat against the Nizams.
