The Indian Super League between Kerala Blasters FC and Chennaiyin FC will kick-off at 7:30 pm IST, and can be live streamed on the Jio Cinema app and website in India. It will be live telecast on the Sports18 network in India.

Chennaiyin FC, having lost just one match in their last five, shape up with a 4-1-2-1-2 with Irfan Yadwad and Wilmar Jordan as strikers.

Kerala Blasters FC and Chennaiyin FC have played each other 22 times, with CFC winning seven, while KBFC have come out victorious in six games, while nine matches have ended in a draw.

We are about 20 minutes away from kick-off, as the players are going through their warm-up routines. It is all smiles but it sure won't remain that way once the match gets underway.

Kerala Blasters, who are looking to end their losing streak, have gone with a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Jesus Jimenez as the striker. The hosts have managed to win just one in their last six.

And we are underway at the Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium, and the visitors have started off strong with a shot already on target. Promising, very promising for the Chennaiyin fans.

The first 20 minutes have all been Chennaiyin. Wilmar Jordan has had eight touches already, and is looking very threatening. While for Kerala, Vibin Mohanan has been all class.

Kerala are slowly starting to pick up their pace in the tie, but Chennaiyin have been far the better side. It remains goalless in the first 30 minutes, but both teams registered shots on target.

And that's the halftime whistle. Kerala Blasters have enjoyed 66% possession, while Chennaiyin are at 34%. However, the visitors have two shots on target, with respect to KBFC's one. Lukas Brambilla has stood out for Chennaiyin.

We are underway again for the second time at the Jahawarlal Nehru International Stadium in Kochi. Both teams have remained unchanged, and this game is expected to have a cracking finish.

KBFC 0-0 CFC 47'

Goaaaaaaaaal!!! 1-0 Kerala Blasters!! Jesus Jimenez's right footed strike from very close range into the bottom right corner has given them a 1-0 lead with about 30 minutes to go. The fans are up on their feet, and Kochi is buzzing.

Goooalll, and it is 2-0!!! The Blasters have doubled their lead thanks to Noah Sadaoui, and it looks like there is no coming back for Chennaiyin now with 20 minutes to go. Or is there? Only time will tell.

With just minutes to go, and the Blasters enjoying a good 2-0 lead, it looks like the hosts will be ending their losing streak. The fans are chanting and are having an absolute blast.

That's 3-0 and three points for the hosts Kerala Blasters, and they finally end the losing streak and have now jumped to eighth on the points table with 11 points from nine games.
