Ghanaian striker Kwame Peprah came off the bench to score a decisive goal in Kerala Blasters FC's 2-1 victory against East Bengal FC in the Indian Super League.
The match, held at the Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium, saw East Bengal take the lead in the 59th minute through Vishnu Puthiya's close-range strike.
Kerala Blasters quickly responded with an equalizer just four minutes later, as Noah Sadaoui found the bottom left corner with a well-placed shot.
The game seemed destined for a draw until the 88th minute when Peprah, who had replaced Spanish striker Jesus Jimenez in the 75th minute, latched onto a pass from Mohammed Aimen and fired a left-footed shot into the bottom right corner of the net.
This goal marked Peprah's first of the 2024/25 season, having featured in two matches so far.
With this hard-fought win, Kerala Blasters FC now look ahead to their upcoming fixture against Northeast United FC on September 29th.
