Kerala Blasters vs Jamshedpur FC Playoffs: Build-up

Kerala Blasters ran out 1-0 winners in the first leg riding a Sahal Abdul Samad goal. But head coach Ivan Vukomanović would know all too well that Jamshedpur, with all their might, can forge a comeback any moment.

Jamshedpur won the Shield for the first time, racking up 43 points and breaking a few records on the way. It has been a stellar season for the Men of Steel and Owen Coyle would like to believe the result in the first leg was an aberration.

The Men of Steel were on a seven-game winning run before they lost to Kerala. Daniel Chima Chukwu missed two gilt-edged chances in the first leg while Greg Stewart had an off day. Coyle would hope his two protagonists fire when it mattered the most.

For Kerala, Sahal has had a season to remember and his goal in the last game means he is now the joint second-highest scoring Indian (six goals) behind only Liston Colaco who has scored eight goals so far.

Ruivah Hormipam has also been a rock at the back for Kerala, the 21-year old having a breakthrough season. Hormipam was brilliant for the yellow shirts in the first leg and along with Marko Lesković they never let Jamshedpur play the freedom they usually do in the final third.
