Kerala Blasters had never defeated ATK in Kolkata, and till the 77th minute of the game it looked like that ATK's hundred percentage record against Kerala Blasters was going to be intact. Then a Slovenian thunder hit ATK out of nowhere as Matej Poplatnik headed home a loose ball which had taken a wicked deflection from a Slavisa shot.

In the 86th minute, Halicharan Narzary picked up Slavisa with a peach-perfect lofted through ball from the half line. The Serbian attacker beat John Johnson all ends up and unleashed a perfect finesse shot from the edge of the box. The shot had a goal written all over it from the time it left Slavisa feet. ATK keeper Arindam could do nothing but to see the ball enter the top left corner of his net.

This was also Kerala Blasters first victory in the iconic VYBK stadium in Salt Lake Kolkata.
