It's FULL TIME at the Bangalore stadium. 7-0 the final score line. The fans from Kerala clap for the approaching players who return the favour by clapping back at the fans. Next Kerala match against Tamil Nadu on Monday.

A promising attack for Andhra Pradesh fizzles out as Kulu Praveen Kumar takes the ball forward but passes back.

Sajith Poulose is ok. He jogs back onto the field, albeit gingerly.

Looks like Sajith Poulose of Kerala has pulled a muscle while trying to chase the ball. The stretcher is out and he is receiving attention on the sidelines. Kerala down to 10 men for now.

Andhra Pradesh's Bhimageni Vamsi takes the ball from his half and goes all the way to Kerala's half. He had options to his right and left but he kept going ahead and was dispossessed by Kerala's defenders.

Andhra Pradesh build a promising attack but it ends in an offside. Kottipalli Rakesh was ahead of the last Kerala defender.

Kerala can afford to relax but they are playing some silky football with some intricate passes. Andhra Pradesh have parked the bus!

Substitution for Kerala. Goal scorer Vibin Thomas is substituted by Lijo S.

It's 7-0! Goal for Kerala. Mohammed Shareef crosses the ball from the right and Afdal puts it into the net. This is embarassing for Andhra Pradesh.

Andhra Pradesh's Kottipalli Rakesh attempts a longball throw into Kerala'a box. A few headers from the Andhra players comes to nothing as they are judged offside. This is the first offensive attempt by Andhra Pradesh this half.

Kerala are just passing the ball around the centre of the park. Andhra Pradesh still not able to get near Kerala's box.

Sreekuttan VS misses a glorious opportunity to score another goal. A cross from Shamnas lands beautifully for the left winger but he mistimed his shot.

It's a goal. Kerala score again. 6-0! Mohammed Shareef crosses into the box and Afdal puts the ball into the net.

Kerala's goal keeper Rahul V Raj has had nothing to do this half. Andhra Pradesh have rarely broken into Kerala's half. Complete one way traffic.

Andra Pradesh living dangerously once again. Kerala nearly score another but a last ditch clearance by Settibalija Manikanta saves them.

Lovely effort by Kerala. A cross from the right falls perfectly for Afdal who just misses the target with a magnificent header. Ball sails over the crossbar.

Kerala substitution Jithin MS who has been the star for Kerala has substituted by Sreekuttan VS. Under 21 player for under 21.

Would you believe it! It's 5-0! Goal for Kerala. Andhra Pradesh foul way outside the box but the long range free-kick sneaks into the goal as Vibin Thomas took a very powerful free-kick.

Substitution for Andhra Pradesh as Shaik Moulali comes in for Chittiboyina.

Jithin MS and Rahul KP both combine for the fourth goal. Both are under 21 players for Kerala. The future is bright for Kerala.

And it's 4-0. Jithin MS who has been very good for Kerala pulls a back pass into the box and Rahul KP strikes it into the top corner. The goalkeeper got a hand to it but could not prevent the goal.

Jithin MS starts of the proceedings with a shot across the goal for Kerala. The ball goes out for a goal kick.

And we are off with the second half!

Kerala have some support at the ground. A few fans from Kerala have made it to the stadium at Bangalore. The score has made them cheerfully sing "La La La La Kerala".

Half Time! It's 3-0 at half time. Two quick fire goals from Kerala and an own goal has made it comfortable for them. Wonder what Andhra Pradesh's reaction in the second half will be.
