The recent clash between Sporting Club Delhi and Kerala Blasters FC raised an intriguing question: Can a single match redefine a team’s season? The answer was a resounding yes, as Sporting Club Delhi secured their first-ever victory in the Indian Super League (ISL) by defeating Kerala Blasters FC 2-0 on April 5, 2026, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi.

In this momentous match, Mohammed Aimen opened the scoring for SC Delhi in the 36th minute, marking a significant milestone in his career against his former team. Despite the emotional weight of the occasion, Aimen chose not to celebrate his goal, reflecting the respect he holds for his past club. Matija Babovic sealed the victory with a second goal in the dying moments of the match, netting in the 90+7 minute.

This victory was not just a win on the scoreboard; it was a crucial turning point for SC Delhi, who had been struggling in the league. With this win, they climbed to 12th place, now holding five points from six matches. In stark contrast, Kerala Blasters FC found themselves at the bottom of the table, with only one point from seven matches, suffering their sixth defeat in seven rounds.

Coached by Tomasz Tchorz, who previously served as an assistant at Kerala Blasters, SC Delhi’s triumph was a testament to the team’s resilience and determination. The match also saw Aibanbha Kupar Dohling of Kerala Blasters receive a red card in the 84th minute, further complicating the Blasters’ efforts to turn the tide.

Aimen’s performance was pivotal, earning him the Player of the Match title for his decisive contribution. As the final whistle blew, it confirmed a historic result for Sporting Club Delhi, who celebrated their first three points in the ISL. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric, with fans rallying behind their team, marking a new chapter in SC Delhi’s journey.

Looking ahead, Kerala Blasters will face Bengaluru FC on April 11, 2026, followed by a home match against NorthEast United on April 15, 2026. The pressure is mounting for the Blasters, who will need to regroup and find their footing in the league.

As the season progresses, the uncertainty looms over Kerala Blasters’ ability to turn their fortunes around. Details remain unconfirmed regarding potential changes in strategy or personnel that could help them recover from this challenging start. Meanwhile, SC Delhi will aim to build on this victory and continue their ascent in the league.
