Kannur Warriors FC vs Forca Kochi FC – Match Report
The breakthrough arrived in the first half when Kannur Warriors FC took the lead through a composed finish from their Spanish striker David Grande. The goal stemmed from a costly mistake by Forca Kochi’s veteran goalkeeper Subhasish Roy Chowdhury, who misjudged a seemingly routine ball, allowing Grande to pounce and give Kannur a deserved advantage.
Buoyed by the opener, Kannur grew in confidence and pressed forward in search of a second goal, applying relentless pressure on Kochi’s defensive line. However, Forca Kochi, determined to stay in the contest, tightened their backline and began to threaten on the counterattack. Skipper Arjun Jayaraj orchestrated several forward moves, linking up well with new Brazilian signing Dorielton Gomes, but despite their best efforts, Kochi couldn’t find a breakthrough. The first half concluded with Kannur Warriors FC leading 1–0.
At the start of the second half, Forca Kochi made a decisive change in goal, with manager Mario Lemos introducing Hajmal in place of Subhasish Roy Chowdhury. The tactical switch aimed to stabilize the backline, but Kannur continued their aggressive approach, pressing high and seeking to extend their slender lead with sharp attacking transitions.
