Hernandez steals the show for BFC
Bengaluru: Javi Hernandez drilled a dagger into Kerala Blasters’ hearts with an 89th-minute winner as Bengaluru FC won 1-0 in the Indian Super League game at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium on Saturday.
Gerard Zaragoza and his troops pocketed three valuable points which vaulted them to sixth on the league table. This victory also meant that BFC remained undefeated against Kerala Blasters at home in the ISL.
Amid the backdrop of a deafening hubbub that lasted the entirety of the hard-fought contest, the home faithful roared the loudest as Hernandez rifled in substitute Shivaldo Singh’s cut-back, sending the decibel levels through the roof.

Both teams looked to impose their intentions from the start. The combative Suresh Singh Wangjam, making a return after serving a suspension, ensured that the hosts dominated proceedings in the middle of the pitch as tackles flew in from both sides.
