Unlucky Kerala share spoils with Jamshedpur, play out 0-0 draw

Bambolim (Goa), Jan 27 : Kerala Blasters were made to rue their missed chances as they played out a goalless draw with Jamshedpur FC in the Indian Super League (ISL) at the GMC Stadium, Bambolim, on Wednesday.
Kerala were by far the superior team overall and created more chances than Jamshedpur, but they lacked the cutting edge in the box, and that denied them their fourth win of the season.
The first half proved to be a pulsating affair but attackers of both sides were guilty of missing chances.
Jamshedpur dominated the opening quarter and had the opportunity to take the lead early on, following a blunder from Kerala goalkeeper Albino Gomes.
He miscued a clearance, gifting the ball straight to Nerijus Valskis. The striker popped a shot at goal but Albino recovered well in time by managing a finger-tip save, which kissed the far-post before going out.
Valskis missed another gilt-edged chance in the 30th minute after some lovely build-up play from Jamshedpur. Aitor Monroy found the Lithuanian in the box with a delightful lob but Valskis fluffed his chance as he attempted an acrobatic volley.
