Kerala Blasters defeated Odisha FC 2-0 to climb back to the top of the ISL table. Here are the three talking points from the game. 

## Adrian Luna continues to impress 

The Uruguayan assisted both goals for Kerala Blasters today, taking his overall count this season to [six assists in 11 games](https://www.indiansuperleague.com/stats). He is now tied with Ahmed Jahouh and Greg Stewart for the most number of assists in the league this season.

The 29-year-old also has two goals to his name, taking his overall contributions to 8 for the new league leaders. 

## Another clean sheet for Kerala Blasters 

Prabhsukhan Gill kept another clean sheet for Kerala Blasters, taking his count to three clean sheets in his last five games, and the Golden Glove man continues to perform brilliantly for his team.

The Blasters have the joint-best defensive record in the league, alongside fellow title contenders [Hyderabad FC](https://technosports.co.in/2022/01/10/kerala-blasters-hyderabad-1-0-top/) with 10 goals conceded so far. 

## Frustration for Odisha FC 

After shipping two goals in the opening 45 minutes, Odisha FC had their work cut out for them in the second half. While they had every intention to attack in the second half, the resolute defending from the winners prevented them from finding the breakthrough. 

They managed to test Prabhsukhan Gill several times. But, the keeper did well to keep Odisha out, who find themselves in 8th place in the table after half the season. However, they can still turn things around in the upcoming games, with only seven points between them and the league leaders.
