Kerala Blasters FC signed off their Indian Super League 2025–26 campaign with an impressive 2-1 win against FC Goa at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, extending their unbeaten run to six matches.

The hosts ended the season on a positive note with a spirited performance in front of their home supporters, as goals from Kévin Yoke and Fallou Ndiaye secured all three points in an entertaining contest.

FC Goa began confidently and enjoyed more of the ball in the early stages, creating dangerous moments through Ronney Willson Kharbudon, Dejan Dražić, and Muhammed Nemil. Goalkeeper Arsh Shaikh was called into action on multiple occasions to keep the visitors at bay.

Despite Goa’s control in possession, Kerala Blasters looked threatening from set-pieces and quick transitions. Vibin Mohanan forced a fine save from Bob Jackson, while Nihal Sudeesh also came close before halftime in an evenly fought first half.

The breakthrough arrived shortly after the restart when Kévin Yoke produced a stunning strike from distance in the 48th minute, firing into the top corner to give Kerala the lead.

Goa responded positively and found their equaliser in the 62nd minute. A well-worked move down the flank ended with Brison Fernandes delivering a low cross into the area, where Muhammed Nemil finished from close range.

With both sides searching for a winner, the game opened up in the final stages. Kerala Blasters eventually regained the lead in the 81st minute when a dangerous delivery from Francisco Feuillassier was turned into the net by Fallou Ndiaye.

FC Goa pushed forward in search of another equaliser, but Kerala defended resolutely in the closing minutes to see out the victory.

The result sees Kerala Blasters conclude their campaign in strong form, while FC Goa finish just above them in the standings after a competitive season.
