NorthEast United FC and FC Goa play out a draw. Catch all highlights here:
20:54 (IST): The match ends and the honours are shared. It is the second draw of the day.
20:47 (IST): Isaac Chansa puts in a searching ball in front of the goal but fails to find his player. That was a terrific ball that needed a touch to find the net!
20:40 (IST): Less than 10 minutes left and it is now do-or-die for both teams. There is some space for Gabriel as he receives a through ball from Miguel Herlein but the flag is up. That could have been a good goal scoring chance.
20:33 (IST): Ranti Martins runs away to celebrate but sees the flag up! Clifford Miranda puts in a superb cross from the left flank to find Ranti Martins in front of the goal. The forward twists and taps it past the goalie. He thinks it is a goal but is disallowed.
20:30 (IST): Less than 20 minutes to play and the score is still 1-1.
20:25 (IST): Bruno Pinheiro puts in the corner on the near post. Do tries to clear it but heads it into the danger area to find Gabriel who heads it towards the goal but is cleared with ease.
20:16 (IST):Koke plays a nice ball on the right side for Kondwani Mtonga. He takes a touch and crosses it right in front of goal but the chance goes to waste.
20:14 (IST): Dong Hyun Do plays a short pass to Joan Capdevila outside the box. The NorthEast United FC captain plays a brilliant through ball for the Korean who pulls it back but is forced to play it back because of dearth of resources.
20:09 (IST): Five minutes of play in the second half and it's still 1-1.
19:48 (IST): The first half ends and the score is 1-1.
19:38 (IST): GOAL! Koke does it for the home team and equalises in the 36th minute.
19:33 (IST): Isaac Chansa puts in a superb through ball but is anticipated by Youness Bengelloun. That was such a vital touch from the no.5 as Durga was hunting for it!
19:28 (IST): NorthEast looking to get a quick equaliser after a defensive lapse saw them concede.
19:17 (IST): GOAL! Gregory gives Goa an early lead in the match. Andre Santos puts in the ball from the spot kick. It was an easy catch for Rehenesh but he spills it out towards the blue jersey. There was chaos there as the players were unable to make definite touches. Eventually Gregory puts it inside the goal.
19:09 (IST): Dong Hyun Do puts a horrible back pass for the goalie as Ranti Martins chases the ball. Rehenesh was alert there and came charging out to clear the ball. That could have been really costly for the home side.
19:01 (IST): The match is underway as the crowd cheers the home team on.
18:54 (IST): The Indian national anthem is played and we are all set for an exciting contest.
18:51: Players coming out on the field as the crowd waits in anticipation for the upcoming clash.

Having suffered defeats in their previous matches, NorthEast United FC and FC Goa would look to record a vital win when they take on each other in their Indian Super League tonight.
NorthEast United FC began their campaign in the tournament with a 1-0 win over Kerala Blasters on October 12 but lost against table toppers Atletico de Kolkata on October 16.
The John-Abraham owned team put up a brave show against Atletico de Kolkata but were done in by the sheer physicality and clinical finishing of the Kolkata side. However, they would look to bounce back with a win in their third home game on the trot at Indira Gandhi Stadium.
