It was a season-opener to forget for the former champions Bengaluru FC who suffered a 1-2 defeat to Kerala Blasters FC in the Indian Super League, here on Thursday. Two defensive errors from Bengaluru (Veendorp OG 52`, Luna 70`) is what consigned Simon Grayson`s men to defeat. New signing Curtis Main, who was a second half substitute, scored a late goal (90`), but the Blues couldn`t stage the comeback they needed. The Blasters kicked off proceedings with Bengaluru fielding as many as four debutants in their eleven. Slavko Damjanovic, Jessel Carneiro, Keziah Veendorp and Ryan Williams got their first competitive minutes in a BFC shirt. Gurpreet Singh Sandhu led Bengaluru out in the absence of Sunil Chhetri, who is away on national duty to the Asian Games.
