A play-off berth already booked, Kerala Blasters played out an exciting 4-4 draw against FC Goa -- who are out of reckoning -- in an Indian Super League match in Bambolim on Sunday. Hat-trick hero Airam Cabrera (49th, 63rd, 82nd) and Aibanbha Dohling (79th) both came off the bench to score for FC Goa. Earlier, Jorge Pereyra Diaz (10th, 25th) had impressed with a brace in the first half. Vincy Barreto (88th) and Alvaro Vazquez (90th) ensured that the Blasters gained a point late on.

Indian Super League will go down to the wire after Kerala Blasters stunned Mumbai City FC 3-1 to leapfrog the defending champions to fourth position on the points table with one round left to play. An opener from Sahal Abdul Samad and a double from Spanish attacker Alvaro Vazquez sunk Mumbai in the penultimate league fixture with Blasters now having their destiny in their own hands. In fact, Blasters will qualify for the playoffs without even kicking a ball if Mumbai fail to get all three points against Hyderabad FC on Saturday.
Kerala Blasters FC brightened their semifinal prospects with a 3-1 win over Mumbai City FC in the Indian Super League on Wednesday. Alvaro Vazquez (45th P, 60th) scored a brace either side of halftime after Sahal Abdul Samad (19th) opened the floodgates for Kerala, who are now in fourth spot having 33 points from 19 games. They take on FC Goa in their final fixture while Mumbai -- in fifth spot with 31 points from 19 matches -- play Hyderabad FC in their last league game, hoping Kerala lose to Goa and they win against Hyderabad.
Kerala Blasters FC and Mumbai City FC will face off in a virtual shootout for a place in the semifinals, in a rescheduled Indian Super League fixture at the Tilak Maidan Stadium here on Wednesday.

With league leaders Hyderabad FC already through to the semis and Jamshedpur FC and ATK Mohun Bagan needing just one point to confirm their place as well, it is Kerala and Mumbai who are likely to fight it out for the last spot.
