NorthEast United vs Kerala Blasters FC ISL 2022-23 LIVE Updates and Score

FULL-TIME: NorthEast United FC 0-3 Kerala Blasters FC

90+6' SAHAL FIRING OFF THE BENCH!

What an impact from the young midfielder. Comes on as a substitute and scores his second goal of the night. The 24-year-old received a cross from the right flank and then he did well to spin his marker before burying the ball into the bottom corner.

90' Six minutes added on!

85' A GOAL TO MARK THE MILESTONE!

On a night when Sahal Abdul Samad become the all-time highest appearance maker for KBFC, the young midfield crowned the occasion with a goal to seal the tie. Rahul KP made a darting run down the right flank and cut back the ball for Sahal. The latter calmly tucked the ball home as Mirshad couldn't keep the ball out despite getting a touch.

82' CLOSE!

NEUFC have their best chance of the half as Joe Zoherliana whips in a cross from the right flank but the on-rushing Imran Khan failed to bury the chance.

75' After the goal, NEUFC heads have seemingly dropped off as they have lacked any edge in the attacking department.

70' Another change for NEUFC: Pragyan Gogoi on for Mashoor Shereef.

65' Now changes for KBFC: Apostolos Giannou and Sahal Samad come on for Dimitrios Diamantakos and Saurav Mandal.

62' Double change for NEUFC: Romain Philippoteaux and Jithin M.S replaces Aaron Evans and Imran Khan.

56' ഗ്രീക്ക് കൊമ്പൻ പണിതുടങ്ങി! 🔥

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

45' Two minutes of added time.

42' Dimitrios Diamantakos finds himself in a good position inside the box on the left-hand side but his left-footed effort is wide off the mark.

36' Nishu Kumar gets the first yellow card of the night.

23' Matt Derbyshire makes good use of his body and causes Dimitrios Diamantakos to commit a foul.

When taking the free kick, Romain Philippoteaux uses far too much force, and the ball goes out for a goal kick.

15' Although NEUFC started the half on the front foot, Kerala Blasters have shown some fight to grow into the game.

8' Romain Philippoteaux's effort from outside the box hits the woodwork. NEUFC have had a strong start to the game!

NEUFC Lineup: Mirshad Michu (GK), Joe Zoherliana, Mashoor Shereef, Michael Jakobsen (C), Gaurav Bora, Gurjinder Kumar, Emil Benny, Jon Gaztanaga, Romain Philippoteaux, Jithin M.S, and Matt Derbyshire.

The lineups are OUT for both teams!

Both NorthEast United FC and Kerala Blasters FC will be desperate for a victory after making underwhelming starts to their respective campaigns. The Highlanders are yet to open their account, while Kerala have lost three consecutive encounters, following an opening-day victory over East Bengal.

Despite losing three on the trot, Kerala Blasters are expected to overcome NorthEast United comfortably. The Highlanders, on the other hand, will be hoping to pull off an upset to procure their first points.
