Super League Kerala: Thiruvananthapuram Kombans come from behind to beat Kannur Warriors 2-1

Kannur Warriors’ unbeaten run finally came to an end on Saturday night as Thiruvananthapuram Kombans beat it 2-1 to dash the Warriors’ hopes of going to the top of the Super League Kerala table.

After creating quite a few chances, Kannur had to wait till the 25th minute to finally convert one of them. Alister Anthony gave the perfect finishing touch to a deft pass into the box by Adrian Sardinero.

The second half saw a more earnest effort from the Kombans, who found the equaliser through Autemar Bispa. He broke through to the box, following a free-kick by Patrick Mota, and came up with a fine header on the run.

The Kombans’ winner came off a counter-attack, with substitute Akmal Shan being presented with virtually an open goal, after being fed by Muhammed Ashar.

The goal also took the Kombans to the third spot, one point behind Calicut and Kannur.
