![]() It looked like they would have to settle for a point after Emiliano Alfaro’s 78th minute penalty cancelled out Jackichand Singh’s opener. Kerala Blasters desperately needed a win to maintain their top 4 aspirations in the 2017-18 Indian Super League. CK Vineeth - Kerala Blasters vs Pune City FC, 2017-18 He is now currently the highest Indian goal scorer in the Indian Super League and this was evidence of just why he’s so prolific and highly rated! It combined a few of football’s most important qualities - searing pace, strength to hold off the defender and an intelligent, accurate finish. A long ball was played over the top and Jeje managed to outmuscle his defender and gain a yard before looping the ball delightfully over the backpedalling keeper into the right hand corner of the net. The pick of them, and arguably the season, was Jeje’s mesmerising finish in the 28th minute to open the scoring. Pune City FC and Chennaiyin FC played out a 1-1 draw in Balewadi in a mid-season fixture in ISL 2016 which was highlighted by two fantastic goals. Jeje Lalpekhlua - Chennaiyin FC vs Pune City FC, 2016 Iain Hume is the top scorer in the history of this competition but even he would count this goal amongst his favourites! 3 pieces of one touch magic and the deficit was down to just one. Lekic without missing a beat played a deft 1-2 with Hume and without giving the defenders or keeper a second to get into position or expect a touch, volleyed a left footed hammer into the top corner. A ball was rolled into him from midfield which he cheekily backheeled first time to Lekic. Dejan Lekic made it 1-0 early on for them and then it was down to Iain Hume to give them even more belief in the 87th minute with a wonderful wonderful goal. Iain Hume - ATK vs Chennaiyin FC, 2015ĪTK were trailing 0-3 after the 1st leg of the semi-final in the 2015 Indian Super League. It was beautiful in it’s suddenness and execution and helped Kerala Blasters take a lead that would help them into the final. Still more than 35 yards from goal, he spotted the keeper off his line, and unleashed a magical left footed finish that thundered into the top corner past the hapless keeper. Running down the channel late in the game, he skipped past his marker. The first leg saw Kerala Blasters run riot as they went 2-0 up, but the tie and the progression were confirmed with Sushanth Mathew’s unbelievable goal in stoppage time that made it 3-0. Two behemoths from the south facing off against each other for a chance to make the first ISL final. The first knockout fixture of the Indian Super League. Sushanth Mathew - Kerala Blasters vs Chennaiyin FC, 2014 It was a finish of unparalleled technique and class that helped the Dynamos to a vital away point. A loose ball fell invitingly to Pavel Elias, a few metres outside the box on the right hand side and he rifled an unstoppable bullet past Subhasish Roy Chowdhury in the ATK goal burying the ball in the top corner. The home side were leading 1-0 and looking comfortable in the 73rd minute and it would take something special to score against a defence that hadn’t conceded in over 250 minutes that season. Here are Insider.in’s picks for the 5 of the very best! Pavel Elias - Delhi Dynamos vs ATK, 2014ĭelhi Dynamos lined up against a strong and in-form ATK side in an early 2014 ISL fixture. A lot of them highlight-reel worthy and jaw dropping. Long rage screamers, overhead kicks, nonchalant finishes, brilliant team moves, back flicks, you name it. Over 700 goals have been scored in the first 4 editions of the Indian Super League.
