Feuillassier strike completes Kerala Blasters’ comeback against 10-man Bengaluru Kerala Blasters FC secured their first victory of the Indian Super League 2025-26 season with a hard-fought 2-1 win against 10-man Bengaluru FC at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium on Saturday, April 11, 2026. The match, marked by dramatic twists and resilient performances, saw the Blasters overturn a deficit to claim three crucial points. The result lifted Kerala to 13th in the league standings with four points, while Bengaluru remained fifth with 14 points. The game began with Bengaluru FC showing early promise, as center back Fallou Ndiaye’s header in the seventh minute was comfortably saved by Kerala’s goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu. Moments later, Ebindas Y fired wide from distance, but the visitors struggled to maintain pressure. Bengaluru gradually grew into the contest, with winger Ryan Williams becoming a constant threat down the right flank. His deliveries troubled Kerala’s defense, and Sunil Chhetri came close in the 23rd minute, heading wide from a Nikhil Poojary cross. Williams tested Arsh Shaikh again in the 49th minute with a driven effort from the right side of the box. The breakthrough came in the 28th minute when Williams broke past his marker and delivered a dangerous ball into the center. Fallou Ndiaye, attempting to intercept the ball ahead of Chhetri, inadvertently diverted it into his own net, giving Bengaluru an early lead. The match took a dramatic turn in the 34th minute when Braian Sánchez was shown a straight red card for violent conduct following an altercation with Matías Hernández, leaving Bengaluru a man down. Kerala Blasters sought to capitalize on their numerical advantage, with Kévin Yoke leading the charge.#bengaluru_fc #kerala_blasters_fc #ryan_williams #fallou_ndiaye #sunil_chhetri
