The roar of the Manjappada echoed even miles away as Kerala Blasters FC decisively thrashed Sporting Club Delhi 3-0 in their crucial Super Cup Group D fixture. This wasn’t just a victory; it was an emphatic display that firmly planted the Blasters at the top of the group standings and critically confirmed SC Delhi’s elimination from the tournament. This performance showcased a KBFC side that is not only clinical but playing with purpose and a new-found ruthlessness, setting a high bar for their rivals including Mumbai City FC and Rajasthan United FC.

The entire fixture was effectively settled in the furious first-half performance from Kerala Blasters. The key moments revolved around the clinical finishing from the Spanish striker and an absolute screamer from a young Indian talent.

โ€ข Koldo Obieta (17′, 23′): The Golden Interceptor The Spanish forward, Koldo Obieta of KBFC, proved to be the difference-maker, capitalizing on some clear defensive lapse by the SC Delhi side. His opening goal was in the 17th minute after he intercepted a loose back-passโ€”a true poacher’s goal. He then followed it up just five minutes later, in the 23rd minute, with a composed finish after a neat passing exchange, showcasing composure and a clinical edge. Obieta’s double was a testament to his emerging role as the focal point of the KBFC attack.

โ€ข            Korou Singh’s Acrobatic Strike (34′): The Goal of the Match The third goal was a pure brilliance and undeniably the highlight of the Super Cup match. It was Captain Adriรกn Luna whose superb scooped pass into the box was met by an acrobatic, right-footed finish into the far corner by young forward Korou Singh Thingujam. This goal epitomized the creative flair and confidence of David Catalร ’s squad.

The score line of 3-0 is a fair reflection of the Kerala Blasters’ dominance over Sporting Delhi. Right from the kick-off, the Kerala Blasters FC team looked in complete control with a balanced attack and a disciplined defense.

โ€ข Tactical Superiority: David Catalร ’s men enjoyed the lion’s share of possession, pressed high, and kept stretching the five-man SC Delhi backline. The early pressure was evident when Juan Rodrรญguez’s header rattled the woodwork from an Adriรกn Luna corner to immediately set a relentless tone in the game.

โ€ข Creative Midfield & Pace: Players like Noah Sadaoui and Nihal Sudheesh infused the wide areas with pace and creativity, pinning the capital side deep in their half all the time. This fluidity in movement then allowed the Blasters to generate multiple scoring chances all across the half.

โ€ข SC Delhi’s Struggles: SC Delhi, desperate for their maiden win in the tournament, looked woefully out of pace with Kerala Blasters’ tempo and structure. They looked rather fragile at the back, which eventually led to the giveaway for the first goal. They did manage a somewhat improved display in the second half but still failed to keep any shots on target and got knocked out.

This big victory hands the Kerala Blasters six points from two games in Super Cup Group D, firmly placing them at the top with a superior goal difference.

โ€ข Semi-final Trajectory: With this win, KBFC moved one step closer to sealing a semi-final berth. The outcome of the other Group D game between Rajasthan United FC and Mumbai City FC was important, as a win for Rajasthan would have sealed the semi-final spot for the Blasters. This dominant victory sets them up perfectly for the rest of the Super Cup live action.

The Kerala Blasters vs. Sporting Club Delhi match was a statement-a definitive show of strength signaling serious intent for the Yellow Army this season and whetting the appetite of the faithful KBFC.
