ISL 2023-24: We end with a 1-0 victory, so very happy with that – Kerala Blasters FC’s Frank Dauwen

Kerala Blasters FC’s assistant coach Frank Dauwen was glad after their 1-0 win against Jamshedpur FC in their second match of the ongoing Indian Super League at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi on Sunday.

Adrian Luna scored the only goal of the match in the 74th minute to give Yellow Tuskers three crucial points. Kerala Blasters had 55.7% possession and took three shots on target.

Dauwen admitted they faced a few difficulties throughout the match but he was happy with the end result. He feels they were able to control the game after the additions of Diamantakos and Vibin Mohanan to the playing XI.

‘We had a lot of difficulties. And also, when they had the ball, the space was too deep to cover the ball. So we had a big problem in the first half. But I think after we made changes after one hour, I think with Dimi (Diamantakos) and Vibin (Mohanan) in the team, we had more control on the ball. And then, we scored one fantastic goal with Luna. The first work was done, and we ended with the 1-0 victory, so very happy with that,’ Dauwen said in the post-match press conference.

Dauwen also gave gratitude to the home fans for their support throughout the game.

“That’s amazing (the support). Also, in the first game, the support was very amazing. Also today, the club or the players, they love it. Also when they are not that good in the game, they help them (players). And then, after the goal, the 1-0 (they cheered a lot). They are amazing. Fantastic,” he said.

Kerala Blasters FC will next take on Mumbai City FC at the Mumbai Football Arena on October 8 and they will aim to continue the winning impetus.
