On the pitch, though, they looked blunt in front of goal, like they have in the first three games. Kerala Blasters have one of the best attacking lineups in the Indian Super League - at least on paper - with the likes of Garry Hooper, Jordan Murray, and Facundo Pereyra in their ranks. While the goalkeepers had their A-game on the forwards of both, the teams failed to impress as they kept squandering chances throughout the game. A lackluster display from both teams' forwards It is safe to say today both teams were rescued at times by their goalkeepers. Vishal Kaith was also the best player for his side, having made some crucial saves. In the second half, Albino saved a penalty from Jakub Sylvestr to keep the scores level and secure a crucial point for Kerala Blasters. Albino Gomes on the other end made some crucial saves to deny Chennaiyin FC from scoring. In the first half, Vishal Kaith made a breathtaking save from a Rohik Kumar long ranger that was destined to end in the back of the net. The match ended 0-0 with both teams sharing a point each. Chennaiyin FC did have a golden chance to score when they were awarded a penalty, but Albino Gomes dived in the right direction to stop Jakub Sylvester's penalty. The second half started with both Kerala and Chennaiyin trying to break the deadlock, but both the teams' defense and keepers made sure that they didn't concede. The game started with both the teams trying to get the early lead, but the first half ended with the scoreboard reading 0-0. Kerala Blasters were playing their third game in nine days which was a hectic task and prompted Kibu Vicuna to make some changes in the starting eleven. While Chennaiyin FC came into the game on the back of winning their opening game, Kerala Blasters failed to win both their previous games.Ĭhennaiyin were hoping to keep their winning run intact, whereas Kerala Blasters was searching for their first win of the season. It was Kerala Blasters' third game of the season. Both teams cancelled each other out, visibly frustrating both Jamil and Vukomanovic in an intense battle of tactics Blasters face arch-rivals Bengaluru next while NorthEast entertain Chennaiyin next week.Chennaiyin FC played Kerala Blasters in their second game of the Indian Super League 2020-21 season. Kerala had their best chance of the night towards the final minutes courtesy of a brilliant pass by Nishu but teammate Alvaro Vazquez could not finish a rather easy header thanks to a spectacular save by NEUFC goalkeeper Subhasish Roy Chowdhury. In a change of formation, Sahal was taken off for wing-back Nishu Kumar, returning after being sidelined for up to ten months through injury for the final quarter-hour. Both managers switched personnel with Alvaro Vazquez and Coureur arriving into the game for Blasters and NorthEast respectively. Vincy kept trying hard to help his forwards but playmaker Adrian Luna was not clinical enough in the box. He squared it into the box but with only the keeper to beat, Sahal grazed it wide. Vincy blazed through the pitch after winning a second ball. Five minutes into the second half, Sahal Abdul Samad missed a golden opportunity. Both teams remained compact in the first period as both sets of strikers found it incredibly tough to get going in the opposition half. His chip over the defensive line had Jorge Diaz almost head in the opener of the night. At the half-hour mark, Blasters captain Jessel Carneiro swung in a cross that ultimately found Adrian Luna. However, the highlight remained a right-footed free-kick from Hernan Santana that went inches above after Enes Sipovic had brought down Deshorn on the run. The latter did slice a couple over the net from distance. VP Suhair was the architect of Deshorn Brown and Khassa Camara getting half-chances to convert. While neither side could carve out clear-cut chances in the opening exchanges, NorthEast did look threatening a couple of times. NorthEast United, also lining up in a 4-2-3-1 formation dropped goalscorer from the last game, Mathias Coureur and opted for 24-year-old Australian centre-back Patrick Flottmann. Ivan Vukomanovic handed young Vincy Barretto an ISL debut on the right-wing as Enes Sipovic made his debut in yellow at the heart of the defence.

Kerala would rue a great chance to earn full points, having to blame all but themselves for some shabby finishing, especially with a lacklustre display by NEUFC's forwards.
