ISL 2019 Live | Mumbai City vs Kerala Blasters | Live Scores, Commentary, and Updates

PEEP! PEEP! PEEP! That's it. It has finished 1-1 here at the Mumbai Football Arena. And, that result helps no one actually. Kerala Blasters took the lead courtesy of a strike from Raphael Messi Bouli but Amine Chermiti equalized just minutes after and the scoreline remained the same. This is Abhishek Kundu (@kunduabhishek56) saying good-bye from all of us at Sportskeeda. Good night and take care!

90+3' Mohamed Rakip with a game-saving tackle. Serge Kevyn is through on goal but Rakip tracked back well enough to lunge a sliding tackle inside the box. Mumbai City guys are pleading for a penalty but the referee is not to be fooled here.

90+2' Bipin Singh whips a delicious through ball behind Kerala Blasters. But, Serge Kevyn fails to get at the end of it and the Kerala Blasters defense clear their lines.

Three minutes have been added on.

90' Mumbai win a corner after Vlatko Drobarov clears the ball.

88' Cido with a brilliant cross from right wing and Halicharan controls the ball before going inside the box and take a shot. But, Amrinder was spot on with his positioning and collects the ball.

87' Raju Gaekwad takes a long throw but the assistant raises the flag for a foul throw.

Kerala Blasters made a substitution in the 80th minute which we missed.

ON- Halicharan Narzary
OFF- Prasanth K

85' Messi Bouli towers above Pratik Chaudhari but his header isn't angled properly. A glorious chance missed by Kerala Blasters

84' Kerala Blasters win a free-kick after Rowllin drags down Messi Bouli. What can they get from this situation?

83' Subhasish misses the ball and Rakip gallops up front. But, Mato Grgic pounces on his heavy touch and Mumbai City survive the scare.

81' Mumbai City break on the counter as Rowllin Borges' clearance is straight to Sougou. The Senegalese with a crossfield pass to Bipin who hares down the left wing. But, his cross towards the centre is a tame one and Raju Gaekwad clears the danger on the other end.

80' That is the brave goalkeeping from Rehenesh TP. Sougou was only few seconds behind the ball but Rehenesh came off the line to collect it.

78' And, the goalscorer is taken off.

OFF- Amine Chermiti
ON- Serge Kevyn

77' Mumbai City FC come back into the game through Amine Chermiti.

Sarthak Golui, who had gone up on the overlap, dinks a cross. Larbi gets to the end of it and heads it goalbound. Rehenesh gets a touch to it but the rebound falls only as far as the other Tunisian and he rolls the ball past the goal-line.

75' GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL! Raphael Messi Bouli finally gives Kerala Blasters the lead.

Jeakson with a sweet little one-two with Samuel but Amrinder closes the angle and makes a brilliant save. But, the rebound goes to Jessel Carneiro in the left wing and his cross is straight to Raphael Messi who makes no mistake to give them the lead.

74' Bipin goes in the byline as Rakip is on his shadows. He cuts the ball back brilliantly to Larbi. But, instead of taking a first-time shot, he goes for the control and Mumbai City lose the ball.

71' Cido wins the ball at the centre of the field and passes it to Samuel. He takes a shot from distance but Grgic blocks it and the rebound falls to Prasanth. His cross is blocked once again this time by Sarthak Golui.

69' Chermiti gives the ball to Bipin in the wide area but he fails to control the ball and it goes out of play.

67' SHOT! Raphael Messi does a one-two with Seityasen and goes for a shot from a tight angle. Samuel and Prasanth were asking for the ball and his shot is wide and high.

64' Mumbai City FC is now playing in a 4-4-2 formation. Sougou and Bipin Singh are the two guys upfront. Larbi and Chermiti have dropped in the midfield, as a result of which they are dominating the midfield proceedings.

63' Kerala Blasters make their first change. There is another debutant.

OFF- Sahal Abdul Samad
ON- Samuel Lalmuanpuia

62' SAVE! TP Rehenesh saves the day for him again. Rakip had gone ahead and fails to track back after Sergio Cidoncha gave the ball away cheaply. Rowllin Borges finds Bipin Singh through but his effort from one-on-one position is saved as Rehenesh had closed the angle.

60' Mohamed Larbi takes a shot from distance. It looks as if the Tunisian's effort is going in but it is inches wide.

59' Jessel flies a cross and Messi Bouli tries an acrobatic effort once more but mistimes it this time.

58' And, Chermiti is flagged offside once again. Rakip has held his line well. Kerala Blasters are playing a risky high-line but it has paid the dues well so far.

56' Chermiti with an exquisite pass this time trying to find Bipin Singh. But, Rehenesh comes off his line to clear the danger. Sensing him out of line, Sougou takes a shot from distance but the Senegalese's effort is high.

54' Mumbai City FC makes their first change. Looks like Mohamed Larbi is dropping in the midfield.

OFF- Raynier Fernandes
ON- Bipin Singh

52' Machado with a great ball and Larbi gets to the end of it this time. He whips a low cross but Raju Gaekwad sticks his leg out and Drobarov gets the ball ahead.

51' Sahal with a mazy run dribbles past Rowllin but Pratik Chaudhari gets in the way and clears the ball.

50' Machado with a delightful pass trying to find Chermiti up front with a long ball. But, Rehenesh comes off his line like a sweeper-keeper and clears the danger.

48' Mumbai City capitalize on the space behind the full-backs again and Chermiti tries to find Raynier Fernandes in the centre. But, he was a tad ahead and Kerala Blasters clear the line.

47' Cido takes the free-kick short and Sahal loses the ball to Machado. He breaks on the counter but Raju Gaekwad tackles the ball brilliantly to avert the danger.

46' PEEP! We are underway for the second half at the Mumbai Football Arena.

Kerala Blasters have depended too much on their full-backs to attack. This has led to a lot of space behind them and Jessel and Rakip are having a torrid time defending the Mumbai wingers. Also, they are bypassing Sahal Abdul Samad while attacking. That needs to stop. He is playing in the hole tonight, not as a defensive midfielder. The Kerala Blasters players need to know that.

45+1' Sarthak Golui tries to lob a cross but Seityasen Singh gets a block to it and that should be it.

One minute has been added on.

44' Rowllin Borges gets a yellow card for a challenge from behind right at the heels of Sergio Cidoncha. A needless one too.

43' That is the fifth offside for Mumbai City FC and this time it is Modou Sougou as the Islanders again go route one.

42' SAVE! Mumbai City break on the counter and Chermiti squares the ball for Sougou. Jessel failed to track back after going forwards. It was in the Senegalese's weak foot and his feeble shot is collected safely by Rehenesh TP.

40' Larbi takes a wonderful inswinging corner and Chermiti outmuscles every Kerala Blasters player to get at the end of the ball. But, his header is misdirected and the effort is high.

39' Mumbai win a corner here. After some good display of passing in the final third, the ball ends with Sogou's feet. He whips in a cross but Jeakson Singh gets a crucial block.

36' MISS! Sougou gets at the end of a diagonal ball and crosses it at the centre. Rehenesh flaps his hand in the air and Larbi gets close there but it is high for him too.

34' SAVE! Now, that is a top save from Rehenesh TP. Larbi gets the ball past the feet of two Kerala Blasters players and Rowllin collects the second ball. Sougou was playing at the shoulders of Jessel but times his run perfectly this time. He whips in a low cross but Rehenesh TP dives full stretch to ensure Amine Chermiti doesn't have a tap-in.

33' CHANCE! That was a glorious chance for Kerala Blasters to take the lead. Jessel dinks the ball past the entire Mumbai City defense that was sitting deep and the ball bounces in front of Seityasen Singh but he fails to get a touch to it and the ball ends up safely in the hands of Amrinder Singh.

32' Mato Grgic is having a wonderful game tonight. Prasanth looks free ahead but the Croatian drifts to the left-back position and lunges a sliding tackle to prevent him crossing the ball into the box.

30' Another corner taken not directly. Whatever is Schattorie's plan, it hasn't worked. That is the fourth time in a row tonight.

29' Messi Bouli again using his pace, this time to exploit the left wing after going past Pratik and Sarthak. But, his final cross is blocked.

28' Rakip flies a cross this time from Kerala Blasters but Mato Grgic averts the danger this time.

25' SAVE! What a save from Amrinder Singh to deny an acrobatic bicycle kick from Raphael Messi Bouli. A cross from the left flank by Jessel Carneiro sees the Cameroonian control the ball with his left foot, turn behind Grgic and Sarthak, and unleash a bicycle attempt. Full points to Messi for his technique but full points also to Amrinder for his save.
