90' KBFC bring in a couple of players. Nishu Kumar and Ayush Adhikari come in while Harmanjot Khabra and Lalthathanga Khawlhring go out.
87' KBFC have the lead and they don't want to see MCFC score a single goal. They are defending quite well here and MCFC are not causing them many issues.

72' Raynier Fernandes is coming on for Vikram Singh as they desperately look for goals now.

66' Huge chance for Bipin Singh but he fails to test the keeper. He runs on the left flank, inside the box, and has a chance to bag himself a goal but instead of chipping it over the keeper, he shoots it over the bar.
62' Chencho Gyeltshen will replace the injured Jorge Diaz. A like-for-like replacement.
60' Halt in play!Jorge Diaz is getting some treatment as it looks like he has pulled his hamstring here. Worrying scenes as he has been stretched off.
58' Double substitution for MCFC!MCFC with a flurry of changes as they look for goals now. Amey Ranawade and Igor Angulo come out for Hmingthanmawia and Ygor Catatau.

51' GOAL! Alvaro Vazquez scores from the spot. (Kerala Blasters FC)
KBFC get their third! Jorge Diaz takes the penalty and sends it to the bottom right corner. The dive from Mohammad Nawaz is in vain and KBFC have a 3-0 lead.
50' MCFC are reduced to 10 players now! Jorge Diaz is charging ahead with the ball but Mourtada Fall tackles him from behind inside the box. It's a two-footed challenge and the referee has a word with the linesman before giving Fall his second yellow card of the match! So, MCFC will have 10 players on the field and KBFC have penalty now!
KBFC with a cushion lead! Oh, my word! What a goal from Alvaro Vazquez! Surely a contender for the goal of the season. Class, sheer class! That's a work of art. To hit with so much accuracy and power on the volley is never easy but Alvaro Vazquez has nailed it with aplomb. Jeakson Singh with a lovely delivery from the right side, it's served at the edge of the box from where Alvaro does the magic and sticks it to the top corner. Wow! The task gets even tougher for the defending champions as they are now down by two goals. That's uncharted territory for them this season. How will they respond?
46' Second-half kicks-off.
HALF TIME: Mumbai City 0-1 Kerala Blasters FC
45' Added Time: 3 Minutes.
39' Chance! Lalengmawia has a chance to hit a first-time volley but skies this one in the stands. He had more time than he anticipated here.
38' Foul! Yellow card for Mourtada Fall! Jorge Diaz tries to control the ball but Mourtada Fall fouls him from behind and that was a bit high as well. Yellow card showed to him.
27' GOAAAAAAAAAAAL! Sahal Abdul Samad (Kerala Blasters FC)
KBFC take the lead! No chance whatsoever for the keeper as that was thumped. Jorge Diaz gets a through ball inside the box near the left flank. He lets the ball drop and puts it across near the edge of the box where Sahal Samad is waiting with no one putting much pressure. He thumps it to the left of the keeper who has no chance to save that. A goal against the run of play.
26' Counter attack! MCFC have a chance to counter attack as Bipin Singh charges on the right flank. Adrian Luna fouls him there and apologizes for it straightaway.

11' WHAT A SAVE! Alvaro Vazquez takes a shot from just in front of the half. It is on target and it is headed into the goal but Mohammad Nawaz dives to his right and deflects it past the post. Phew, that was a powerful shot by Alvaro Vazquez.
5'Yellow card! Ahmed Jahouh has the ball and is charging towards the goal but gets tackled by Alvaro Vazquez. The referee deems that this tackle deserves a yellow card.
