Match Highlights: Aimen Breaks the Deadlock
The first half was dominated by the hosts, who looked more comfortable on the ball with 58% possession. The breakthrough finally arrived in the 37th minute. Sporting Delhi’s captain, Gogou, delivered a perfectly weighted grounded cross into the box, which was expertly tapped home by winger Mohammed Aimen.
In a poignant moment for the fans, Aimen—who spent years rising through the ranks of the Kerala Blasters academy and making over 50 senior appearances for the Yellow Army—refused to celebrate the goal as a mark of respect for his former club.
The goal leaves the Blasters, playing their first game under new head coach Ashley Westwood, with a mountain to climb as they look to escape the bottom of the standings.
