Points shared!
So, Delhi Dynamos FC once again leave it too late to salvage a point. They entered into the second half 0-0 but were the more dominant side in the first. However, the hosts made them pay for all the missed opportunities as they scored early in the second 45 through CK Vineeth. Delhi Dynamos FC did try after that but it was Kerala Blasters FC who looked more threatening on the counter. Just as the game looked like it would end in favor of the home team, Andrija Kaludjerovic headed the ball in, in the 84th minute, to equalize. There was time for a late winner and we could have seen one, had the ref awarded a penalty to Kerala Blasters FC. That was not to be though and it ended 1-1.
90'
Full time!
There goes the whistle and that is that. It ends a stalemate.
90'
Penalty?
Well, the ref does not give it. CK Vineeth taps the ball ahead and now is in a race with Pritam Kotal. He seems to be winning it but just as Vineeth goes to touch the ball, Kotal puts in a tackle and the former is down on the ground. He wants a penalty but it is not given. Replays later on show that Pritam is a touch lucky there.

GOALLLL!
Delhi Dynamos FC have equalized. The crowd here has gone silent. Andrija Kaludjerovic scores. He was really, really brave there to get his head to it. I will tell you why. The ball was lobbed in towards the right into the box. It falls to Rana Gharami who chips it towards the far post, Nikola Krcmarevic goes for the ball with his foot raised high. However, Kaludjerovic is brave enough to stick his head in and head it into the back of the net. 1-1 and we still have time for a winner.

Substitute!
First for Delhi Dynamos FC and it is a double change as Adria Carmona replaces Gianni Zuiverloon and Bikramjit Singh comes in for Romeo Fernandes.
An excellent counter-attack there from Kerala Blasters FC. Matej Poplatnik makes a dash with towards goal. He has three to four more players with him. He plays in a really good ball to CK Vineeth on the left into the box. Vineeth maybe takes a touch extra to his right and then tries to curl it in but the defender blocks it. Maybe he should have drilled it with his left.
59'
Ambitious effort!
Not a bad one though. Sahal Abdul Samad taps down a ball he recieves in the centre. He is around 35-yards out and puts his laces through it but it is not on target.
56'
Great chance there!
Kerala Blasters FC could have easily been two up. CK Vineeth puts in a lovely cross-field ball towards Seiminlen Doungel. He goes past a couple of defenders and then sets his sight on goal. However, there is a pass on to his left but he opts not to and tries to fire it towards the near post but it goes wide. Should have passed that one to Slavisla Stojanovic, he had lots of space there.
52'
Kerala Blasters FC on the charge here!
Sahal Abdul Samad now chips it into the box, Seiminlen Doungel who tries to head it towards the goal. Not a lot of power on the header and Francisco Dorronsoro saves it with ease.
48'
GOALLL!
Kerala Blasters FC have made Delhi Dynamos FC pay for the chances they have missed. CK Vineeth opens the scoring and the crowd here erupts. A corner which is half cleared. It falls to Matej Poplatnik who takes it on the volley from inside the box. The shot though is blocked but it rolls towards Vineeth who rolls off the defender behind him and then finishes it. A goal early in the second half and Kerala Blasters FC are the one who take the lead.

Half time!
There goes the whistle and it is level at the half time break. Delhi Dynamos FC though would feel they should have been a goal ahead. They have dominated the first half. They started off as the stronger side as they managed to build good pressure. However, there were no clear openings for them at that time. Kerala Blasters FC then enjoyed a good passage of play and they formed an attack or two of their own. They had to be content with shots from outside the box. Their best chance fell to Slavisla Stojanovic but he hit the side netting. The best chance of the half though fell to Gianni Zuiverloon. A chance which he should have taken but hit it just wide of the right post. Another 45 minutes to go and by what we have witnessed till now, there are surely goals in this game. Let us hope we get some. Stay tuned.
45'
Wide again!
Another chance for Delhi Dynamos FC. A cross by Pritam Kotal is met by Marti Crespi's head. He is not able to direct it on goal and it is a goal kick. The away side need to take these chances. Meanwhile, one minute has been added to the first 45.
40'
How has he missed that?
That had to go in, just had to. A ball is chipped over the defender on the right which sets Romeo Fernandes free. He dashes into the box and then cuts it back. He finds Gianni Zuiverloon who tries to place it in the bottom right corner but the ball goes just wide. That should have been the first goal. Best chance of the half so far.
35'
Side netting!
A good chance there for Kerala Blasters FC, their best till now. Lalruatthara drills it low towards CK Vineeth from the left. The latter swings his leg but mistimes his shot. However, it falls to Slavisla Stojanovic which means the hosts still have a chance to score. He lines it up but does not hit the target.
34'
Off target!
A very good long ball from Halicharan Narzary, picks CK Vineeth. He shows great control to chest the ball down and gets into the box. Takes a shot but does not connect well and it goes out for a goal kick.
28'
Close!
Almost a blunder there by Naveen Kumar. He tries to catch a corner which is curled towards him, he fumbles and Andrija Kaludjerovic is quick to pounce on the mistake. He gets his foot to the ball and it lobs up in the air. Naveen though recovers well and punches it out of danger.
24'
Handball?
The ref does not feel so. Lalruatthara goes very low to head out a cross from Lallianzuala Chhangte from the left. However, he only manages to head it onto the ground. Replays show, the ball did touch his hand after bouncing on the ground but it was not intentional. We have seen these been given though. Could have gone either way.
22'
Good save!
A poor pass in the centre from Delhi Dynamos FC player falls to Sahal Abdul Samad, he passes it to Slavisla Stojanovic. He has a player to his right but opts to take a shot. He hits it well but Francisco Dorronsoro gets down quickly and makes a good save. First shot on target and it comes for Kerala Blasters FC.
18'
JUST OVER!
Halicharan Narzary with a brilliant effort there. He gets the ball around 35 yards out. He sees there is no one to pass it to so takes a shot. It is a good one but it goes just over the post.
17'
High and wide!
Romeo Fernandes tries something very adventurous! A shot from quite a distance, however, it is high and wide.
15'
Delhi Dynamos FC building good pressure!
The game for now is being played in the Kerala Blasters FC's half. They are doing more of the defensive work but the away team need to make most of the pressure they are building.
11'
Good defending!
Lallianzuala Chhangte does really well there. He goes past one and then enters into the box. Performs a dummy which foxes another but Sandesh Jhingan does well to help his partner out and shows great strength to block the attacker and let the ball go out for a goal kick.
4'
Right from the training ground!
Was that corner. It was kicked towards the near post from Rene Mihelic. Romeo Fernandes gets to it and tries a backheel but the angle is a tough one and he fails to hit the target.
2'
First cross!
Sahal Abdul Samad tries to cross the ball in from the right. However, it is a tame one and Francisco Dorronsoro collects it with ease. Kerala Blasters FC though have started off brightly here.
