Calicut FC defeated Thiruvananthapuram Kombans by a narrow margin of one goal in the Super League Kerala match at the EMS Corporation Stadium in Kozhikode on Sunday.
Defender Alexis Sosa scored the match-winner in the 13th minute for the defending champions, who wasted several chances to extend their lead and seal the game more comfortably.
Calicut created plenty of opportunities from the start and went ahead through a goal off a corner kick. A few minutes later, skipper Prasanth K made a fine solo run into the box, but a moment of hesitation saw his attempt go straight to the goalkeeper.
In the second half, Calicut continued to test the Kombans’ defence, which held firm, denying the home side a second goal.
With the win, Calicut climbed to third place in the points table from fourth, while Thiruvananthapuram remain fifth with four points in the six-team league.
