Signing off
That's it from this game then! It was one of those games where both the sides failed to break the deadlock. On Saturday, 08 February, ATK FC will host Odisha FC. We will love your company for that game which starts at 1930 IST. Till then, goodbye!
Awards
The Club Award is shared by both teams as the match ended in a draw. Mouhamadou Gning collects the Limitless Player of the Match Award. Federico Gallego grabs the Winning Pass of the Match Award. Lalruatthara takes the ISL Emerging Player of the Match Award while Lalengmawia bags the Hero of the Match Award.
A dull draw!
Like the first half, second half remains goalless as well. However, we saw a few top attacks from both the sides, they could not find the final touch. The goalies from both sides were up to the challenge as they made vital saves. Bartholomew Ogbeche had a chance to put his side in the lead in the 72nd minute but he failed to find the net. Eventually, it ends all level here at Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, Guwahati.

Goalless half
Just one shot on target and that too came in stoppage time. It's been a really slow game so far where both the sides defused the possible attacks in the midfield itself. 4 yellow cards in this half is enough to tell that the attacks have been taken care of. When both the sides return for the second half, they will look to return with fresh energy and the aim of finding the back of the net. Join us in a while to find out.

Matchday
The second-last placed team on the points table, NorthEast United FC are hosting Kerala Blasters FC, who are stationed just ahead of them, in Match no. 76 of the Indian Super League 2019/20. Kerala Blasters FC are already out of the race of final 4 while the hosts still have a slim chance of making to the top 4. But for that to happen, the hosts need to win all their remaining games and hope for a few results to go their way. That is a topic of discussion for some other time. For now, let's talk about this game. NorthEast United FC tasted a victory in November when they defeated Hyderabad FC. They would look to change things around in this encounter against a side which has been really poor at the back. Interestingly, NorthEast United FC's defense has not been up to the mark either. Kerala Blasters FC, on the other hand, were thumped 6-3 by Chennaiyin FC which crushed their chances of making it into the playoffs. Bartholomew Ogbeche, the forward of Kerala Blasters FC, has been in supreme form but others have not stepped up much. With 3 more games left in the season, the Blasters will hope to finish it on a high. Will we see the hosts keep their hopes alive or will Kerala Blasters FC ruin their chances?
