Sports : Full-time report: FC Goa put three past Kerala Blasters FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi as in-form Spanish forward Ferran Corominas got a brace to move atop the top scorers list in ISL 2018-19.
The first goal came in the 11th minute when Goa got a corner that was headed back out of the box. Jahouh received the ball and floated it back into the box from the right hand side with Corominas reaching at the near post and putting on a glancing header that put the ball inside the far post to make it 0-1.

After the first goal, Goa continued to pile pressure on the home team who had a hard time getting out of their own half and relied heavily on counter-attacks to get forward. Goa were comfortable building from the back and were generally patient with their build up even though the first goal came off a set-piece and the other, in the extra-time, came through a counter-attack.
The second came in the last minute of the first half when Corominas carried the ball forward in a counter-attack with two of his teammates on either side. He ran through the middle and opened up space for himself, cut in a little bit to get on his favourite right foot and struck the ball at the bottom left corner to make it 2-0 in Goa’s favour.
