Until next time!
The match today ends with Kerala Blasters FC on top of the table as they bagged all three points. We head to Bengaluru on Monday for the 2nd ISL fixture of the season as Bengaluru FC host NorthEast United FC. Join us for what promises to be an exhilarating contest at 1930 local time. Till then, cheers and take care!
Awards!
The Club Award is collected by Kerala Blasters FC for winning the game. Jairo Rodrigues is given the Limitless Player of the Match Award. Jeakson Singh has been awarded the Emerging Player of the Match. The Hero of the Match award is given to Kerala Blasters FC skipper Bartholomew Ogbeche for his outstanding performance and two goals in the match.
Kerala Blasters FC start with a bang!
Just the way the hosts would have wanted to start off the season. Three points and they have beaten a spirited ATK team to clinch those points. The match started with Carl McHugh scoring a goal for ATK inside the first 10 minutes and silencing the home crowd. ATK dominated the first few minutes but then the hosts started to find their feet. They were given a chance to level the scores when Pronay Halder fouled Jairo Rodrigues in the penalty box. The resulting penalty was converted by Bartholomew Ogbeche. The second goal for Kerala Blasters came soon after as Ogbeche scored again right at the end of the first half. The second half started for ATK with a huge chance but they missed it. There was a last-ditch challenge by Jairo Rodrigues who saved his side around the 70th-minute mark with Roy Krishna through on goal. ATK tried and tried but could not find a way to break down the home team's resistance. Kerala Blasters FC will be mightily pleased with this result as they came back from a goal down.

Excellent defending by Jairo Rodrigues!
Prabir Das collects the ball on the right flank and puts in a low through ball right at the feet of Roy Krishna who is through on goal. He thinks he has time to take a touch and does so. However, Jairo has other ideas and he slides in from behind and takes the ball off Krishna's feet. Excellent slide tackle and the goalkeeper then collects it.

Beautiful attacking play by Kerala Blasters!
Bartholomew Ogbeche collects the ball outside the box in the hole, he turns and beats the defender marking him. He plays a beautiful through pass to Prasanth Karuthadathkuni but he does not take the first time shot. He waits and passes the ball to Rakip who whips it in towards the head of Mouhamadou Gning at pace. He heads it at goal but it goes just over.
60'
Ogbeche is down!
Agustin Iniguez and Bartholomew Ogbeche were getting ready to receive the ball from a throw-in but then the latter goes down. The replays detect no such contact. Theatrics.
56'
Free Kick wasted!
Javier Hernandez goes for a cross/shot but it does not come off for him as he miscues it wide of the left post.
55'
Foul on Michael Soosairaj!
Soosairaj goes on a mazy run down the left flank but he is clipped by Gianni Zuiverloon. Free kick awarded in a dangerous area.
53'
Bossing the game!
Kerala Blasters FC with the possession of the ball but posing no threat at all. However, they are in the lead and controlling the game with this.
51'
Corner wasted!
David Williams takes the corner but it goes over everyone and Kerala Blasters have no trouble in dealing with it.
50'
Free kick for ATK!
Javier Hernandez takes a free-kick from the right flank. He whips it towards the goal but the Blasters are strong in defence and Jairo Rodrigues heads it away for a corner.
47'
Chance missed by ATK straight after the break!
Javier Hernandez takes the corner. It falls in the penalty box with players fighting for it. Bilal Khan pushes it away but it goes straight to David Williams. He goes for a toe poke at goal from close range but he hits it off target. The Blasters survive.
46'
The second half commences!
ATK get us underway and now they will be attacking from right to left.
Kerala go on top at the break!
An exciting first half comes to an end! In the end, it is the hosts, who started off quite slowly, are heading into the break with the lead. The game itself began with a bang as ATK took the lead early on. They did dominate the game for a while after that but the hosts then started to move the ball around freely and found more space. Their pressure paid off as they were awarded a penalty which Bartholomew Ogbeche converted. He then doubled the lead right at the end of the first half with a stunning strike. Now, the hosts would probably sit back and look to counter whereas the visitors will look to attack more. Let us hope we have an action-packed second half too.
45'
GOALLLLL!!!!
Kerala Blasters FC score and it is a sensational goal. Bartholomew Ogbeche is the man again and he puts Kerala into the lead. Prasanth Karuthadathkuni puts in a low cross low from the right flank, Pronay Halder looks to clear the ball but he fails to do so. The ball falls to Ogbeche who wraps his right foot around it and the ball whizzes into the bottom right corner again. The crowd is off its feet and so are the Kerala players. A goal just before half-time will do wonders for them.

Huge chance missed by ATK!
Prabir Das puts in a cross from the right flank, it is a delightful one and goes right to Roy Krishna. He tries to head it but he does so awkwardly and the ball goes over the bar. He was one on one with the keeper and that was a huge opportunity to go into the lead.
41'
Hand ball in the penalty area
Halicharan Narzary puts in a cross from the left flank, it goes past everyone towards the far pole. Prasanth Karuthadathkuni tries to control it with his head inside the area. He heads it down but onto his left hand itself. Handball given!
38'
Long shot but no danger
Pritam Kotal clears this one but it goes straight to Prasanth Karuthadathkuni, he sets his sights on goal, takes on a volley with his left foot but hits it way wide.
30'
GOALLLLL!!!
Bartholomew Ogbeche tucks it away and Kerala Blasters FC are level. There was a long halt before the penalty but Ogbeche keeps his calm and tucks it away into the bottom right corner, into the side netting.

Penalty awarded to Kerela Blasters!
The corner is taken from Kerela Blasters from the right hand side. The ATK defender does not clear it well and the ball lobs towards the far pole. Bartholomew Ogbeche attempts a header from almost no angle and the ball falls near the 6-yard box. Jairo Rodrigues looks to shoot it at goal but Pronay Halder pulls him back and Jairo falls down. The referee turns down the appeal for a penalty and the Blasters are furious but then the referee consults with the assistant referee and gives the penalty.
26'
Penalty shout denied!
Michael Soosairaj cuts in from the left hand side and runs into the 18-yard box. Sergio Cidoncha is too close to him and there is some shoving and pushing in the box. However, the referee thinks there is too little contact there to award the penalty.
24'
Magical!
Roy Krishna goes on a mazy run from the half way line. He clears one defender, then two, another one. He is through on goal but loses his balance at the end and tries to pass it to his fellow striker who is not expecting it and the chance goes begging.
20'
Bad cross!
Halicharan Narzary puts in a cross but the defender at the far pole clears it away. Throw in for Kerala Blasters.
18'
Yellow card to Jairo Rodrigues!
Roy Krishna was running with the ball down the right flank but Rodrigues trips him from behind and brings him down. Yellow card given to Jairo.

Let's Football!
Those will be the words on everyone's lips as the Indian Super League is back for the Sixth season. We kick off the season in the best possible fashion as rivals Atletico de Kolkata take on Kerala Blasters FC. The Kerala based franchise will be agonised by the success of their rivals as both of ATK's titles have come at their expense in the finals of 2014 and 2016. Kerala Blasters will be looking for a little bit of redemption by downing them in the inaugural match of the 2019/20 season. ATK, on the other hand, have been a little bit poor in the past couple of seasons finishing 9th in 2017/18 and 6th in 2018/19 season. They have returned to the manager who brought them their first ISL title, Antonio Lopez Habas. ATK go into the match with a couple of important players out suspended. Jobby Justin will be suspended for the first three matches of the season while Anas Edathodika will be suspended for just the one match. Kerala Blasters have had similar fortunes as they finished sixth in the 2017/18 season and 9th in 2018/19. Both sides have bolstered their squads with some new players coming in. For ATK, John Johnson, Javi Hernandez and Edu Garcia are some of the top recruits. However, one must not forget Roy Krishna who might also prove to a very good acquisition. As for Kerala Blasters, they are unlucky that one of their main acquisitions, Sandesh Jhingan will start the season out injured. On the attacking end, Bartholomew Ogbechem can do the damage and so can Mario Arques. This proves to be an enthralling contest and join us in a short while for all the updates.
