The upshot of all of this is Blasters meet Kolkata in the Final on Sunday in the conundrum that is Kochi in a repeat of the Final of 2014. We'll join you then. But, for now from me and all team here in Delhi its a good night.

Kadio's weak clearance allowed Marcelinho to score. Nazon responded for Blasters. Milan got himself sent off for a rash tackle on Mehtab but Rocha brought the hosts level on aggregate.With nothing to separate the two teams in regulation time and through extra-time off we went into penalties .Malouda, Pelissari and Memo all failed to score from the spot.Four men stepeed up for Blasters. German missed but Josu, Belfort and Rafiiqued all smashed them in to seal a place in the showpiece.

After we finished at 2-2 on aggregate Blasters beaten Delhi 3-0.Rafique's penalty was inch perfect. Doblas guessed right but it was in the postage stamp.Phew let's start to sum up this frenetic night

Rafique scores and puts Kerala into the Final. 3-0

Memo steps up and fires one Nandy goes to his left and tips wide.

Belfort up next sends the keeper the wrong way and smashes it in. Kerala leading by 2-0 now

Pelissari steps up and emulates Malouda.

116' Delhi corner clipped in and cleared.

114' I find this a bit weird. Its the 10 men doing the attacking while Blasters seem happy to take this to penalties.

112' Hughes has picked up a knock and wants to come off. But he's been told to stay on by the Blasters bench. He's effectively a passenger.

110' Delhi substitution. What a surprise Marcelinho off Pelissari on.

108' Vineeth clips in a good ball to German in the box but his first touch is poor and it skips away and out.

94' Meanwhile, Jhingan stretched to clear the last attack and is down in some pain. He's back up and thankfully so because Blasters have made all their changes.

93' Malouda with another good run but shoots straight at Nandy and Marcelinho blazes over from the rebound.

91' Delhi kicks of first half of extra time.

Not many chances in the second half. Jhingan and Hengbart cleared one off the line while Nandy has made a couple of good saves. Blasters haven't been able to make their man advantage count Delhi have been compact.

Well well, where do I start? Kadio's header saw Marcelinho put Delhi ahead on the night before Nazon silenced the home faithful. The game caught fire on the half mark when milan singh received a straight red for a late challenge on mehtab. Than Marcelinho lost his bearings for about five minutes. In all that Rafi was taken off injured and has been replace by Rafique and in the 7th minute of injury time Rocha levelled on aggregate after Nandy's error on a free-kick. Catch a breathe everyone.
