East Bengal vs Kerala Blasters ISL Live scorecard: Catch all the live updates of the high-voltage Indian Super League clash as EBFC take on KBFC in Kolkata. Stay tuned for live scores and match updates.
East Bengal vs Kerala Blasters ISL As It All Happened: Kerala Blasters finally got the equalizer they were so desperately searching for. The visitors scored in the second minute of injury time with Muhammad Ajsal scoring the crucial header. East Bengal, despite multiple chances in the second half, could not extend its lead. It was a match where the hosts showed their dominance for the better part of the 90 minutes but failed in the fag-end of the game to give up their one-goal lead.
East Bengal FC took an early lead in the game with Youssef Ezzejjari scoring his fifth goal of the season. The Moroccan converted from the spot to give the hosts an important lead in the 10th minute of the game against the Kerala Blasters at the iconic Salt Lake Stadium. The Blasters came pretty close to scoring on multiple occasions in the first half.
East Bengal are coming into this game with a loss and a draw in their last two games. Having started their ISL 2025/26 campaign strongly, the Red and Gold Brigade faltered in the last two games. They kept a clean sheet against NorthEast United in their 3-0 victory in the season opener. Youssef Ezzejjari scored a brace and continued his fine form with another two goals against Sporting Delhi in a 4-1 win for his team. Meanwhile, joint table-toppers, Jamshedpur FC snatched a 2-1 victory with a 87th minute goal from Rei Tachikawa. Against the third-placed Goa FC, the Red and Gold Brigade Army could not break the deadlock as the match remained goalless.
They would want Youssef Ezzejjari to put on his goal-scoring shoes again as they search for a victory against the 13th-placed Kerala Blasters to get their season back on track.
Kerala Blasters have had a poor start to say the least about their campaign. Having lost all four of their games so far, KBFC are off the bottom spot of the points table due to a slightly better goal difference than Mohammedan SC. Having played among some of the top teams this season, the Blasters have scored only a solitary goal in their four games. They lost to table-toppers Mohun Bagan in their opening clash of the season. Mumbai City defeated them 1-0 before a loss against Inter Kashi, where they scored their only goal in a 2-1 defeat. In their last game against Chennaiyin FC, KBFC lost 1-0 as their season went from bad to worse.
Despite their recent form, Kerala Blasters can take a look at their head-to-head record against East Bengal and take out some positives before their clash. In the last 10 games between the two teams, KBFC has won four times while East Bengal has won thrice. Three of the games have resulted in a draw.

Kerala Blasters have spoiled the party for the hosts. The visitors have scored the equalising goal in the dying minutes of the game from a corner. Muhammad Ajsal scored his first goal in the Indian Super League in one of the most crucial times for his club.
After a match where the players have kept themselves for most of the clash, there seems to be tensions flaring up. KBFC’s Fallou Ndiaye pushed EBFC’s Miguel Figueira, who went down immediately. The challenge earned Ndiaye a yellow card from the referee.
We are into the final 10 minutes! East Bengal has upped the ante significantly and is bringing on fresh legs as they continue to search for its second goal. The Blasters have done well to prevent another goal, but they are still trailing in the clash. KBFC ended the first half strongly and they would want to do the same in the second half as they look for the crucial goal.
