JAMSHEDPUR: Till the 85th minute, Kerala Blasters' CK Vineeth had precious little to show for his striking prowess under the lights at JRD Tata Sports Complex on this cool Monday evening. He could not have timed his impact better as his second goal of the fifth edition of the Indian Super League (ISL) consigned Jamshedpur FC to their fourth consecutive draw in five matches.While Tim Cahill opened his account for Jamshedpur, Michael Soosairaj scored the other one for the hosts. For the Blasters, after Vineeth, Slavisa Stojanovic got his name on the scoresheet.Having made five changes to the starting eleven from the previous match against NorthEast United, Jamshedpur put the Blasters defence under pressure right from the word go. Latching onto a mispass in the opening minute, Spanish forward Sergio Cidoncha looked set to add to his tally only to shoot wide of Blasters goalkeeper Naveen Kumar.Kumar again found himself in the face of the Jamshedpur onslaught in the very next minute. This time Cahill made it 1-0 for the men in red. With Farukh Choudhary making his presence felt on the right flank, Blasters defender Lalruatthara conceded an early corner. The Australian, lurking inside the Blasters box, met Cidoncha's inch-perfect delivery inside the box with a precise and powerful header to give his team the lead. While the roar of the 20,000-odd spectators brought the house down, the Blasters back-four, led by skipper Sandesh Jhingan , appeared vulnerable.If Cahill was excellent, Soosairaj was sublime. Having once shot way over the goalpost from inside the box, the India midfielder once again returned to torment the Blasters defence as he latched on to Dhanachandra Singh 's throw, courtesy a brilliant dummy by Cidoncha. Soosairaj attempted an audacious right-footer from the left, looking to curl the ball into the far post. His flawless execution made it 2-0 in the 31st minute.The hosts could have sealed the game in the 41st minute but an unmarked Cidoncha placed his header off a Soosairaj cross wide.Stojanovic scored in the 70th minute from a well-placed low cross from substitute Seiminlen Doungel. It was 2-1. That is when Vineeth stepped in.The Blasters forward latched on to a ricochet off Paul after a Doungel strike from the left was thwarted by the Jamshedpur custodian. Unmarked Vineeth foiled Jamshedpur's hope of the first win at home with a clinical strike to make it 2-2.
