Kochi: Kerala Blasters FC restricted NorthEast United FC to a goalless draw at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi in the Indian Super League (ISL) tonight. The home team showed exceptional defensive prowess to hold the Highlanders at bay and secure a point despite playing with 10 men for over 60 minutes of the game.
FC Goa will play East Bengal FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Goa on Sunday. The Gaurs are third in the table with 27 points from 15 games, having played three draws in their last five matches.
East Bengal FC are 11th in the standings, as they have garnered 14 points from 15 clashes. In their previous five encounters, they have secured two wins and a draw, but their couple of defeats have come on the bounce, coming into this encounter.
The Gaurs will look to extend their five-game winning streak against East Bengal FC. Jamshedpur FC beat them to the second spot after their 1-1 draw against the Mohun Bagan Super Giant and FC Goa will be looking to reclaim it in order to keep alive their ambitions of finishing the league stages at the top of the rankings.
