**Kochi, India:** Kerala Blasters FC secured a dramatic 2-1 victory against East Bengal FC in a thrilling Indian Super League match on Sunday. The match, played in Kochi, saw a late goal from Ghanaian substitute Kwame Peprah securing the win for the home side.

The game took an unexpected turn when substitute P V Vishnu gave East Bengal a surprise lead within two minutes of entering the field. Former Blasters striker Dimitrios Diamantakos assisted with a cross, allowing Vishnu to tap the ball in and silence the home crowd.

However, the Blasters bounced back, with Noah Sadaoui equalizing in the 62nd minute. Sadaoui dribbled past Mohamad Rakip on the left before firing a low shot into the far corner, igniting the Manjappada crowd.

The momentum shifted once again when Peprah, who replaced Jesus Jimenez in the 75th minute, scored a crucial goal 13 minutes later. His strike, neatly placed into a corner, was aided by a misjudged positioning by East Bengal goalkeeper Prabhsukhan Gill.

The two goals ensured an entertaining and hard-fought contest, with the Blasters ultimately emerging victorious. The win keeps Kerala Blasters in contention for a top spot in the ISL standings.
