4 minutes added.

Arnab Mondal gets a yellow, the third for ATK.

Sanju Pradhan tried his best to beat Amrinder again, but he was unlucky there.

All men behind the ball for NorthEast United, they are defending what they've got.

Listen to the roar at the end of the game if the scoreline stays at 1-0 #NEUFC #8States1United #NEUvATK @NEUtdFC

Atletico's first change will be to bring on Sushil Singh for Sahni.

Amrinder's goal is finally breached as an initial shot was blocked but Velez was the quickest to reach and put it past the keeper.

GOAL!! Velez gives NEUFC the lead!

The corner found Borj for ATK but his attempt is saved too for another corner, the pressure is building.

Hume is through on goal but Rehenesh is alert to the threat and makes the save.

The crowd was pleased to see Simao Sabrosa come on and they made it heard.

Farias plays his final card as he brings on Simao for Kamara. Maybe the Portuguese can provide the finishing touch for the highlanders.

That's easily cleared by the Kolkata defence.

The ball is sailed towards Amrinder who fumbles it and it's now out for a corner.

Nato is now shown a yellow.

Velez has another try, but this time it's straight at Amrinder, who's called into action for the first time this half.

Substitute Velez is now in on the act, he tries a shot but the curler goes harmlessly over.

Kamara and @JaviLara2 had great chances to put their teams in front in the 2nd half. Score still 0-0. #NEUvATK pic.twitter.com/6DJRV0uB0z

Atletico might just come to rue those missed chances.

Nato hits the CROSSBAR! Lara followed up on the rebound but his attempt was blocked.

Nico Velez replaces Dadzie for NEUFC's second change.

NorthEast United boss Cesar Farias is making a switch as Pradhan replaces Reagan.

Reagan now involved as he finds Kamara in the middle but the striker can't convert for NEUFC.

Borja gets in on the act, his volley though is again, as has been the theme tonight, wide.

Lara again involved as his freekick is cleared by Bikey after Tiri got a head to it.

Miss of the season right there. #NEUvATK

Lara again is at the centre of all the action as he takes aim but his shot is wide. That one seemed easier to score, he's missed a glorious chance.

NEUFC are quickly on the front foot. An early freekick into the opposition box is quickly cleared.

We are underway in the second half! A reminder that the score is NorthEast United 0-0 Atletico de Kolkata.

At half time the score remains 0-0,great display of football! Let’s get ready for the second half! #NEUvATK #HeroISL pic.twitter.com/htfylHf79X

Half-time. The score is still NorthEast United 0-0 Atletico de Kolkata

So close! Javi Lara's shot was on target but saved by Rehenesh. Kolkata now have a corner.

3 minutes added time.

We're close to half-time here at the end of this scintillating first 45 of football despite the score staying 0-0.

And now Robin Gurung has a go, again the shot is nowhere close.

Three consecutive Atletico corners were cleared by the NorthEast defenders, it's their turn to face the attacking force of Kolkata now.

An Atletico attack was cleared behind for a corner and Gavilan's cross from the corner results in another one for his side.

Lara now lets a shot fly but it's off target.

Is it Amrindar or Neuer playing for @atletidekolkata ?? #FatafatiFootball #LetsFootball #ATK #NEUvATK @IndSuperLeague #ISL2015

Another freekick, another save. This is turning into a team vs a man, Amrinder has been saving everything!

.@atletidekolkata's Amrinder Singh has already denied @NEUtdFC thrice tonight! #NEUvATK #LetsFootball pic.twitter.com/3M9vkvKA3P

Amrinder is almost single-handedly keeping this tie goalless at the moment.

Amrinder is called upon again and he delivers! He saves a good shot from Reagan this time.
