Ciao
That's it from this game then. In the final game of the year, Mumbai City FC is taking on Hyderabad FC at home. The game starts at 1930 (IST) on Sunday. We will love to have your company for that game. Till then, cheers!
Awards
The Club Award is shared. Asamoah Gyan gets the Limitless Player of the Match Award. Bartholomew Ogbeche collects the Winning Pass of the Match Award. Rakesh Pradhan takes the ISL Emerging Player of the Match Award while Mario Arques is handed over the Hero of the Match Award.
Points shared
NorthEast United FC hold the hosts for a draw through a penalty goal from Asamoah Gyan. The call for the penalty was a harsh one but NorthEast United FC would not mind. Redeem Tlang will remember the chance he missed in the 58th minute of the match. They had a chance in the 68th minute when Lalthathanga Khawlhring smashed a volley but TP Rehenesh denied the visitors a chance to take a lead. Kerala Blasters FC, on the other hand, took the lead through a penalty too but that came in the first half of the game. They battled hard but could not create any clear-cut chances. In the end, both the sides finished by sharing points.

Terrific volley but brilliant save
Rakesh Pradhan takes a throw-in from the left. It falls to an opposition player who looks to clear it away with a header. However, his header is not strong and the ball moves to Lalthathanga Khawlhring. Lalthathanga turns with the ball nicely and looks to slam it in the far post but TP Rehenesh dives to his left and collects the ball nicely.
66'
What a run
Panagiotis Triadis gets the ball on the counter-attack. He makes a brilliant run with it from the left side. Enters the box but Mohamad Rakip does well to not allows him any space and does well to push it out of play. He concedes a corner which is taken by Triadis but nothing comes out from it for the visitors.
63'
Yellow card
Lalengmawia gets a booking now as he takes down Ogbeche in the middle.

Just wide
Redeem Tlang misses out a golden opportunity to give NorthEast United FC a lead. Asamoah Gyan passes the ball to his left superbly towards Redeem who has no one in front of him to tackle. He takes it inside the box with few touches and then targets the bottom right corner of the net. However, it goes just wide. He should've scored there and he knows it too as he looks at the heavens.
55'
Foul
Martin Chaves brings down Mohamad Rakip on the left flank. The referee quickly blows the whistle and awards a free kick. Mario Arques takes it but nothing comes out of it as it is easily cleared away.
54'
Good touch-play!
Bartholomew Ogbeche and Messi Bouli combine to create an opening. The skipper wins the ball in the midfield and plays Bouli through with a pass to his left. Ogbeche then rushes inside the box to receive the return pass but one of the NorthEast United FC's defenders intercepts and makes the clearance.

Penalty
A touch harsh but NorthEast United FC have a chance here to draw level! Panagiotis Triadis cuts it to the onrushing Rakesh Pradhan who enters the box from the left and tries to cross it in. Seityasen Singh gets in between to head it away. But the referee feels that he has handed the ball and awards a penalty.
48'
Midfield jam
The ball is passed in the midfield with both teams contesting hard to maintain possession. A bit clumsy so far.
46'
Resumption
We're back with the second half. NorthEast United FC, who are trailing by a goal at the moment, will kick off proceedings. The team in all-whites will attack from right to left now.
Hosts ahead after the first 45
Finish of an exciting half which started very slowly but during the end minutes, Kerala made most chances as they kept the ball with themselves nicely. Subhasish Roy looked at his best as he denied the hosts a couple of times with superb saves. However, his attempt of clearing the ball away from danger ended up Kerala Blasters FC getting a penalty. Ogbeche scored through it to give his side the lead. NorthEast United FC skipper Asamoah Gyan will rue the chance he got in the 20th minute when he missed out a chance to score the goal. Had he hit, the story in the first half could've been different. Also, his goal was disallowed in the 36th minute when he was caught offside. Anyway, the hosts have gone to the break with a goal lead. Will they be able to hold onto it and bag three points or will we see the Highlanders' make a comeback? Join us to find out the same in the final 45.

GOOALLL
Bartholomew Ogbeche scores and Kerala Blasters FC take the lead. The crowd is going bonkers here in the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi.

Penalty
Minutes before the half time whistle, Kerala Blasters FC have got a penalty. Subhasish Roy cannot believe it and he gets a booking for his reaction as well. What made the referee deem the attempt of Subhasish Roy an illegal one and award the penalty? Mario Arques chips the ball towards Bartholomew Ogbeche. He gets to the ball but Subhasish Roy is off his mark to intervene. However, Bartholomew Ogbeche gets the first touch and Subhasish Roy ends up bringing him down. The referee spots it quickly and signals for a penalty.

20'
What a miss!!!
Can you believe it? Of all, it is skipper, Asamoah Gyan who misses out a clear opportunity. Lalthathanga Khawlhring makes a brilliant pass in front of him towards Asamoah Gyan. The skipper takes the ball forward with a run and enters the box. He has only TP Rehenesh, the goalkeeper, in front of him. He tries to drill the ball in at the top left corner but hits it way over the bar.
15'

Just wide

It though is not cleared and falls to Prasanth Karuthadathkuni. Prasanth drills it on the volley and towards the left corner but Subhasish Roy does really well to block it away.
6'
Good play
Seityasen Singh looks to pass the ball towards Prasanth Karuthadathkuni from the right flank as he sees Karuthadathkuni making a run. However, Singh's touch is a heavy one and before Prasanth can get anywhere near the ball, Subhasish Roy comes in and collects the ball.
5'
Foul

Matchday!
It is time for game no. 48 in the Indian Super League. Languishing at 9th position on the points table, Kerala Blasters FC host NorthEast United FC. The hosts, after winning their first game of the season, are winless and will be eager to win their second match of the season. With the tournament heading towards the business end, the hosts would have to win games to stay in contention of the top four spots. However, their defense has been poor and they will have to step up their game against the visitors. Bartholomew Ogbeche, Sahal Abdul Samad and Sergio Cidoncha have struggled of late too. Ogbeche and Messi Bouli are the two players who have scored most of their goals so far this season. NorthEast United FC, on the other hand, started their season well and remained unbeaten in their first 6 games. However, after that, they lost two matches with their defense doing poorly in those games as they conceded five goals. Their attack, like the defense, has not done well and the possible return of Gyan will be a booster for the visitors. Will the hosts be able to end their losing streak or will the Highlanders bag three points from this game?
