The result should come as a blow for Malappuram that would hoped to climb up the points table with a home win. Malappuram sit fifth in the six-team table on 6 points from 6 matches. Kochi remain third on 9 points from their 6 outings.

The Super League Kerala will resume at the same venue on Friday with Thrissur Magic taking on Thiruvananthapuram Kombans.
