The ball curled and penetrated the left side of the net.
Team goal
Just 7 touch. That was all it took for the most beautiful team goal of the match. On the left wing, starting from Kerala’s defender Muhammad Salim, through Nijo Gilbert and Muhammad Ashiq, when the ball reached E. Sajeesh, there was only a need to put a foot. Kerala’s second goal was scored in the 67th minute when Sajeesh did exactly that. At the beginning of the second half, the Assam players controlled the field with a quick move. Kerala’s second goal came when they were worried that the game would be lost if they hung on to one goal.

Cold and turf challenge
Yellow and red alerts come in our country only when there is rain and sun. But Arunachal Pradesh will have to be included in the cold weather warning category. The weather here is a red alert for the players who have come from South India. The temperature was 20 degrees Celsius at 2.30 pm when Kerala’s match started yesterday. It was down to 19 at half time. The stadium at Upia is located at an altitude of about 217 meters above sea level. The weather and the game at altitude are testing the athleticism of the Kerala players. Yesterday’s first match is an example of that. Also, the Kerala players were finding it difficult to calculate the speed and accuracy of the ball in the match being played on the artificial grass field (turf).
