FULL TIME
ATK 0-1 Kerala Blasters FC
Messi Bouli takes the ball near the corner flag and the referee blows the final whistle. A much needed three points for Kerala Blasters. In the end, it was the superbly sweet strike from Halicharan Narzary which made all the difference as Kerala upset ATK in their own den with this result helping them to move to the 6th spot. Jamshedpur FC are the ones who have to make way for Kerala Blasters' resurgent run.

90+4' Roy Krishna goes down in the penalty box after coming in contact with Moustapha Gning. The ATK players sarcastically applaud the referee after he waved play on.

90+2' Suddenly a fight has ensued as a support staff has seemingly been kicked. Ugly scenes here at the Salt Lake Stadium with ATK already getting agitated for Kerala's time wasting.

90' Jobby Justin tries to get the ball away from Gning but he is fouled and then Prashanth flicks the ATK forward's hand and runs away with the ball. The referee has no option but to brandish a yellow card for Prashanth.

88' Victor Mongil wrestles with Messi Bouli and brings him down as the whistle is blown by the referee Ajit Kumar Meitei. But as an ATK player tried to clear the ball, it went and hit Messi's hand but the Cameroonian makes the most out of it to waste some time.

85' Kerala get a free-kick and Mario Arques delivers a sumptuous ball to Moustapha Gning but the Senegalese's header is saved brilliantly by Arindam Bhattacharya.

83' The goal-scorer Halicharan Narzary is off to bring in the fresh legs of Prashanth Karuthadathkuni.

80' Amazing save from TP Rehenesh. Roy Krishna twists and releases a shot after receiving cross on his chest but Rehenesh gets low and saves it superbly to maintain the 1-0 scoreline.

77' Narzary is down on the ground holding his right hamstring. Schattorie will hope it isn't anything serious.

73' Messi Bouli yet again makes himself a nuisance by giving it his all while the ball is in the air. Finally after Messi brings down the ball and cuts back, Ogbeche takes over and releases a shot but it lacked power to ensure a comfortable save for Arindam Bhattacharya.

70' GOOOOALLLL! What a stunning goal from Halicharan Narzary! Raphael Messi Bouli troubles the ATK defenders to help Narzary get the ball and drive centrally before releasing a sweet strike with his weak right foot as the ball nestled into the back of the net. Just the second ISL goal for Narzary and one that he will cherish for a long time.

69' The mazy Javi Hernandez makes a good run and passes it on to Jobby Justin who then lays on a ball for Roy Krishna but the Fijian's low cross is wayward and runs away for a goal-kick.

67' Short in stature but Roy Krishna rises high and flicks it on Jobby Justin who tried to sneak into the 18-yard box. But a block comes in to stop Justin in his stride.

66' The gangly Messi Bouli turns quickly and attempts a through ball but there is no one to get on the end of it.

64' Jayesh Rane is getting ready to replace the injured Agus. Meanwhile Balwant Singh is replaced by another striker in the form of Jobby Justin.

63' Jessel Carneiro whips in ball to Bart Ogbeche but his header is off the target. It was a tough chance though as Ogbeche had to take the shot from the edge of the box.

61' TP Rehenesh has received a warning from the referee for time-wasting. Meanwhile, Antonio Lopez Habas is not happy on the sidelines.

60' Another dangerous through ball for Roy Krishna but TP Rehenesh is alert enough to act as a sweeper keeper.

57' Prabir Das shows some silky skills and plays a through ball to Roy Krishna but Mohammed Rakip stays with the ATK forward which makes the angle pretty acute. A half-chance gone a begging albeit due to some excellent defending.

54' Pritam Kotal's scuffed clearance put ATK under pressure with Arindam needing to try and prevent a corner but he fails in doing so.

52' Prabir Das thumps a cross and Roy Krishna gets on the end of it but there is too much crowd to break free and get through on goal.

49' Balwant Singh elbows Mohammed Rakip but he escapes a potential yellow card. Rakip is down on the ground receiving medical treatment.

47' A few mistakes have propped up in the first two minutes itself but both teams haven't been able to make much of those opportunities.

HALF TIME
ATK 0-0 Kerala Blasters FC
An interesting first 45 minutes wherein Kerala Blasters have proven they are no pushovers. Both sides have had half-chances with Kerala Blasters the one who would be most disappointed at not opening the scoring for tonight. This match is not done and there should goals in the second-half. Catch us in 15 minutes

45+1' The referee interestingly awards a free-kick to ATK after adjudging that Halicharan Narzary handled the ball when he actually brought down the ball with his chest.

43' Mandi Sosa takes the free-kick and powers it but the shot is just slightly away from the far post. Kerala breathe a huge sigh of relief.

42' Free kick inches outside of the box after Mohamed Rakip and Halicharan Narzary clash to close the door for Roy Krishna. However, funnily, the referee gives a free-kick for ATK. Will they get anything out of this?

39' Yellow card for Javi Hernandez as he protests after the referee didn't penalise the challenge on him. Halicharan Narzary almost went through to the 18-yard box before snatching a poor shot away from goal.

35' A quick free-kick is taken and Roy Krishna tries to smash the ball home but Bart Ogbeche is there to come up with a crucial block. Corner for ATK.

34' Yellow card for Mario Arques as he takes one for the team to stop the jet-like Prabir Das.

28' Bart Ogbeche tries to break free and take a long shot but he can only scuff it and the rolls comfortably to Arindam. Ogbeche claims that he was clipped but the referee has none of it.

27' Kerala get a free-kick and Seityasen puts in a beautiful ball after which ATK's clearance falls to Messi Bouli who then took a shot that almost shaved the left goal post. A decent half-chance for Kerala Blasters

26' A beautifully measured through ball from Gning reaches Messi Bouli but the Cameroonian fails to get in a cross on two different occasions.

25' Messi Bouli drifts wide and gets in a cross but it is straight into the hands of Arindam Bhattacharya.

22' Halicharan Narzary is now down injured after being involved in a clash during ATK's set-piece opportunity.

19' Yet another long ball to Messi Bouli and Agus brings him down to give away a free-kick in an interesting position.

17' Jessel Carneiro loses out in the battle too and leaves acres of space for Prabir Das but his cross is cleared away quite easily by Abdul Hakku.

15' Abdul Hakku got injured in a duel with Balwant Singh and the defender has walked out for some medical attention. Moustapha Gning has taken Hakku's spot for the time-being.

10' The resulting corner-kick is played poorly and the stray ball falls to Roy Krishna who races forward in a counter-attacking move but Mohammed Rakip shows enough strength to steal the ball and put an end to the threat.

9' Bart Ogbeche and Messi Bouli looked to play a one-two but the ball hits Pritam Kotal and runs away for a corner.

8' Jessel Carneiro looked to switch the ball to the opposite flank but Michael Soosairaj came in with a superb interception.

6' Jessel Carneiro played the ball back to Mario Arques and Kerala look to recycle the corner kick from the left flank but Vlatko Drobarov puts his attempted cross out of play.

5' Seityasen Singh starts off a free-kick routine but they can only earn a corner in the end. ATK were asleep in defense.

4' So far ATK have looked to start the game on a positive note and hence they have presses pretty hard. It will be no surprise if they score the first goal.

3' Moustapha Gning takes a poor touch but Balwant Singh's push earns Kerala a free-kick in the defensive half.

2' Javi Hernandez gets on the bike and passes it to Michael Soosairaj but the winger slashes his cross way behind the touchline.

1' A long ball to Raphael Messi Bouli in the very first minute but his challenge is deemed to be a foul on Sumit Rathi.

The players are walking out for the Indian national anthem. Kick-off in five minutes.

Kerala Blasters' strength rests on Raphael Messi Bouli's pressing and the crosses that Bart Ogbeche could potentially receive. All the eyes will thus be on the wingers Halicharan Narzary and Seityasen Singh.

On the other hand, ATK will continue to rely on counter-attacks with Roy Krishna acting as the key figure for this strategy. The Fijian has scored 8 goals and provided two assists so far. Michael Soosairaj and Prabir Das will also bring in varying threats from either flank. While Soosairaj loves to cut in and score just like how he did against Mumbai City FC, Prabir Das' crosses resulted in quite a few goals for ATK in the initial few matches.
