HALF TIME: NorthEast United FC 0-0 Kerala Blasters FC

45' Additional Time: 3 Minutes.

43' Gurjinder Kumar, who is already booked once, goes in for a late challenge. He does not get the ball and puts in a rash tackle on the player. The referee plays advantage and he gets away with it.

43' This is a good passage of play for KBFC! They break down the right. The attacker crosses it in but it takes a deflection and goes out for a corner.

40' Drama off the ball!Harmanjot Khabra is complaining he was elbowed by Suhair Vadakkepeedika. This though was done behind the ref's back so nothing doing.

36' That should have been 1-0 to KBFC! It is a huge, huge let off. Provat Lakra is way too slow in defense as he tries to pass. Adrian Luna closes him down brilliantly and puts in a tackle. He gets the ball and rolls to Jorge Diaz who just has a defender in front of him. He goes past him and then is one on one with the keeper. Takes a shot but it goes wide. Should have hit the target at least.

33' Adrian Luna probably should have done better! It was a free kick in a good position. Just outside the box on the right. He looks to go for goal but hits it straight into the hands of the keeper.

30' The pass was just a little too heavy! Adrian Luna gets the ball just outside the box on the left. He curls it in into the box. Jorge Diaz does get between the two defenders, gets his head to the ball but it goes wide of the far post.

28' Hernan Santana takes the corner from the left side and swings it in with his right foot. It's a good ball but Albino Gomes does well to jump and punch it away to safety. The rest of the work is done by the KBFC defender.

26' Hernan Santana is the one who takes the free-kick. He strikes it well but fails to get it down in time. Goes just over the goal.

25' Enes Sipovic needed to make that tackle! He was one-on-one with Deshorn Brown who seems to have beaten him. Sipovic brings him down and gives NEUFC a free kick in a good position.

21' Gurjinder Kumar leaps to head the ball but he commits a foul as his elbow hits Vincy Barretto. He has been shown the yellow card.

13' NEUFC win the first corner of the game. They get a throw on the left, the NEUFC player tries to throw it down the line but the defender slides and kicks it out for a corner. Nothing from it.

12' Khassa Camara is down holding his face! Both, he and Vincy Barretto jumped for the ball to head it, Vincy Barretto probably caught Khassa Camara on the face. Camara was down for a bit but is fine now.

9' Both the defenses have been quite compact so far. The ball for now is being played in the mid-field. No clear chances created as of now.

7' Laldanmawia Ralte looks to set an attacker free down the right flank. He though overcooks his pass and it goes out for a goal-kick. Should have done a lot better as he had enough time to pick his player.
