Hugo Boumous (3′, 39′) a Liston Colaco (50′), who brought more than 3,5 million of Rs, they immediately paid off the goals. Roy Krishna (27′ P) he also failed to capitalize on the space, again between the goals.

Sahal Abdul Samad is a young enigma for the Blasters (24′) she meant, that he equalized, but in vain.

Former FC Goa and Mumbai City FC star Boumous became the league's fastest goalscorer in the opening encounter, when he found the net from outside the box within three minutes.

ATK Mohun Bagan suddenly found it difficult to cope with the Blasters' retaliation. Rahul KP did well down the right wing, picked an inch perfect middle towards Sahal Samad just outside the box, who ran with confidence.

This joy was short-lived, as Roy Krishna won and converted the penalty just minutes later. Albino Gomes is nowhere near the elite football mastermind of the Fijian-born striker.

The first half was sealed and delivered as such, that Boumous made money from it, that it remained unmarked. He dared exactly, he hit it through and through the keeper's legs, to secure a two-goal cushion.

After the break, Liston Colaco curled in a delicate fourth goal with a little help from Krishna, to the great joy of coach Antonio Lopez Habas.

After that, the game came down to a balanced battle with the ball, but ATK Mohun Bagan kept teasing the Blasters defenders.

Jorge Diaz (69′) pulled a goal out of the blue for the Blasters, as ATK Mohun Bagan looked a bit complacent, when he held his shape.

ATK Mohun Bagan would be happy with the performance, as Kerala Blasters entered the game with a robust pre-season.
