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.
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'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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Kerala's Mohammed Shareef tries a lovely curler from the edge of the box which the goal keeper parries for a corner. Kerala waste the resulting corner with a tame attempt.
Andhra Pradesh's Kulu Praveen is at the base of their midfield three. To be honest he has been guilty of some wayward passes and is too slow in transition.
Andhra Pradesh defenders trying some long ball tactics but the ball only manages to reach Kerala defenders. This is quite a lackluster performance by Andhra Pradesh so far.
A lovely turn by Kerala's Sajith Poulose gets him into the box with the goalkeeper to beat but some last second defending from Andhra Pradesh keeps them safe. Sajith tumbled asking for a penalty but the referee wasn't interested.
Andhra Pradesh are too slow in transition and they pay for it instantly. What should have been an attack resulted in defence with Kerala having three shots on goal. A last ditch goal line clearance by Andhra Pradesh prevents a goal.
GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!! It's 3-0! Can you believe it! An unfortunate own goal by Singampalli Vinod while attempting a back pass. This is going to be a long day for Andhra Pradesh.
The second goal was created by a free kick from the halfway line, Afdal took the ball to the box and sent in a juicy cross which was almost wasted as two Kerala players go for the same ball but Rahul converted cooly.
