Mark Sifneos cancelled out Marcelinho's goal to give Kerala Blasters FC a vital draw (1-1) against FC Pune City in the Indian Super League season four battle at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Thursday. The victory helped Kerala Blasters, which sees the return of David James as head coach, take the eighth spot in the ISL points table while Pune City moved on top. Kerala Blasters, last year's finalists, are still winless in three matches but home fans will be happy to see a more direct approach bring some positive moments in a match that could have gone either way.
