If I were to pick one team from the bottom half of the table to make it to the play offs then it would have been Kerala Blasters. I think this is one good team who has the potential to top the table next season if they can work on building a competitive edge.

Kerala Blasters’ Jordan Murray After the Match
"We have three games, hopefully we can get nine points from them.
"It’s just an inside jokes with few of the boys. I call a few guys a cheat so yeah it’s an inside joke.
"We came out with a little bit more oomph and put it in Odisha’s face. But we scored and missed and they got two goals as well. It’s disappointing to not get the three points.
It’s been hard to not have the fans. I have heard stories and it’s been tough. But it’s about pride. And hopefully we can win the next few games and personally I can get a few more goals."

Kerala Blasters Head Coach Kibu Vicuna After the Game
"I am disappointed. We were much better than our opponents. We created too many chances. The problem is we can’t concede two goals every match. That is the problem. This has been our problem the whole season. It’s unbelievable we didn’t win tonight. The different between the chances we created and theirs is very high. This is clearly not our season.
“I think at the end of the season, it is going to be more easy to analyse why. Sometimes I feel in some games we are not killing the match, like today. I also feel it’s a mental situation. In football, you know you are in good way and we are not. The confidence of the players when we score or concede is not the same. Management of the game is also to be worked on.”

Odisha FC Interim Coach Gerry Peyton After the Match
“Relieved is not the word I will use. My team was very motivated from the start. We knew what they were going to do, they were going to come down the flanks. We blocked them there. I am very impressed with Inman today, his linking with Mauricio. I am disappointed we didn’t win, I’ll be honest with you.”

Odisha FC and Kerala Blasters played out an entertaining 2-2 draw at the Fatorda Stadium. After a cagey start, Diego Mauricio broke the deadlock on the stroke of half-time, slotting in a calm finish after exchanging passes with Jerry Mawihmingthanga. Kibu Vicuna’s side hit back in the second half, with Jordan Murray levelling the score in the 52nd minute.
The Blasters smelled victory after Sahal Abdul Samad set up Gary Hooper, who cooly slotted home. But the win would elude KBFC as the talismanic Diego Mauricio netted his second of the night to ensure both sides would settle for a point.
