Goodbye!
That's all folks, join us after a day's break on Saturday as NorthEast United FC play host to ATK. Match starts at 1930 IST.
Awards!
The Club Award is shared as the match ended in a draw. TP Rehenesh is given the Limitless Player of the Match Award. Mohamed Larbi gets the Winning Pass of the Match Award. Jeakson Singh takes the ISL Emerging Player of the Match Award, while Jeakson Singh collects the Hero of the Match Award.
Points shared!
1-1 in the end, a fair result one would say, no side we believe was better than the other and they will be pleased with the single point. The second half was also one full of chances like the first. It was the hosts who attacked at the start of the second 45, they did create a few chances but could not take it. They were made to pay for it as they went a goal down in the 75th minute as Messi Bouli scored. Mumbai City FC though scored the equalizer immediately through Amine Chermiti. However, after the two goals, there were not a lot of chances created and in the end, the scores remained on level terms.

GOAL!!!
We finally have a goal in this game! 15 minutes from regulation time, Kerala Blasters FC have taken the lead. The Kerala Blasters FC's fan are going bonkers. First it was Jeakson Singh who played a one-two with Prasanth Karuthadathkuni and then took a shot which was saved by Amrinder Singh. It rolls out towards Jessel Carneiro on the left flank. He drills it into the box for Messi Bouli who strikes it towards goal and beats Amrinder Singh. Can Kerala Blasters FC hang on now?

Around 20 minutes to go before the clock hits 90. Both the teams trying their best but we are yet to see a goal in the game.
67'
Ambitious shot!
Seityasen Singh passes it to Messi Bouli on the right-hand side, Bouli runs with the ball inside the box. He has no one in the centre so takes a shot from a tough angle and it goes over.

Another save!
TP Rehenesh is the man of the moment at the moment! This is a brilliant save! Rowllin Borges puts Bipin Singh through from the centre. The latter makes a run down the left and he is now one on one with the keeper. Rehenesh rushes out quickly, makes himself big and saves the shot which was hit quite close to him.
60'
Just over!
That is a venomous shot. A cross is cleared out towards Mohamed Larbi who is just outside the box. He strikes it on the volley. The shot has a lot of venom behind it but it goes just over. Good phase this for the hosts.
60'
Lovely defending!
Bipin Singh makes an excellent run down the left. He then puts in a low cross but Raju Gaikwad stretches out and clears it brilliantly. Had he not done that, it would have found the attacker behind him who would have had a tap in.
56'
Good work
From TP Rehenesh! Amine Chermiti puts in a long through for Bipin Singh. However, the keeper rushes out quickly and clears it in time. The clearance though falls to Rowllin Borges who looks to go for goal from the half line but hits it well over. Not a bad idea as the keeper was off his line but it did not come off.
54'
Midfield battle
Both the sides are passing it around in the centre. No clear-cut chances created yet in this half.

Sweeper keeper
TP Rehenesh is well off his line and acrobatically, clears the ball from the edge of his box. That's bold.
49'
Brisk start
A brisk start to the second half by either side. There have been crosses-galore but no end product. The boxing match continues between the heavyweights.
46'
Play resumes
Mumbai City FC gets us underway, will we see a gola in this half?
0-0 at the break
No goals in the first half and that comes as a surprise as there were quite a few chances for both the sides. It is the visitors who started off brightly as they got a chance in the 12th minute itself but Seityasen Singh hit it over. Messi Bouli then had a couple of chances, he made an acrobatic effort which was brilliantly saved from Amrinder Singh. After that, Mumbai City FC, got into their own, they started creating attacks of their own. They had a golden opportunity which was scuffed by Modou Sougou. However, both the sides were quite equal. Also, if the same continues, we can surely expect goals in the next half.

Mumbai City FC on top

Brilliant chance, missed!
That's wonder diagonal by Rowllin Borges towards Modou Sougou on the right flank. Sougou sets himself up and crosses the ball. Mohamed Larbi in the middle of the box miscues his header.

Jessel Carneiro the magician

31'
Comes to nothing
Modou Sougou's cross finds none of his teammates in the box. Raynier Fernandes chases after it and crosses again, which is eventually cleared.

Seventh takes on Eighth!
The 32nd match in the ISL will see Mumbai City FC play host to Kerala Blasters FC. Both sides started their campaign with a win. Thereafter, neither have managed to take 3-points in their other 5 fixtures. The Islanders, having played six matches, have 6 points, leading their opponents by a point. Mumbai’s defence has been their weak-link, conceding 2 goals in each of their last 4 games. The first two ending as 2-4 defeats at home, while the last two were entertaining 2-2 draws away from home. The hosts also have the dubious record of being happier travellers. They have lost both their games at home so far. Head coach Jorge Costa will want to strike that record off, by retuning to winning ways today. Their confidence will be high, having recorded their first and only victory this season against Kerala Blasters FC. Amine Chermiti, Serge Kevyn have looked in great nick in their last two matches. Along with Rowllin Borges, Paulo Machado and Modou Sougou, the Islanders ability on the ball is up with the best. While the injury-stricken Blasters will want to restart their stuttering campaign with a win. Head coach, Eelco Schattorie, has highlighted that the ability to deal with set pieces efficiently will be crucial for the Kerala-based team. He also stated that the absence of Mario Arques has crippled the supply of goals to their burly strikers, Ogbeche and Messi Bouli. Will we see either team race to the sixth place with a win? Can’t wait to find out!
