Defensive mistakes continue to derail Kerala Blasters' play-off bid

Kerala's tendency to gift goals at crucial moments in matches came back to haunt them again in Goa...

In their last nine matches, Kerala Blasters have gifted goals to opposition through defensive mistakes in at least eight of them. A pretty damning statistic that for a team which harbours hopes of making it into the Indian Super League (ISL) play-offs.

That tendency hampered them yet again against FC Goa on Saturday as they fell to a 3-2 defeat despite a resilient show which saw them take the game to the Gaurs in their own backyard.
