NorthEast United FC struck with the 5-3-2 formation for the second game straight.The game started slowly with neither side willing to risk anything, cancelling each other out in midfield, and struggling to carve out chances in the final third.Romain Philippoteaux hit the woodwork from range after a little run from midfield in the eighth minute for NorthEast United FC, and Diamantakos found some space in behind in the 40th minute for Kerala Blasters, but his shot went wide. The two goalkeepers weren't asked to make any saves either as the first half ended 0-0.The coaches did not make any changes heading into the second half, but the two teams showed more directness by taking a few shots early in the half. The plan paid off for Kerala Blasters in the 56th minute. Saurav Mandal was played through by Rahul KP, and Mandal's shot was met by Diamantakos, who added the finishing touch to an excellent team move.NorthEast United FC came extremely close to equalising twice in the space of two minutes. The first chance fell to Imran Khan, who got on the end of a brilliant cross but could not get the right connection.Emil Benny got on the end of an even better chance a minute later after being played through by Matt Derbyshire. Despite rounding off the goalkeeper, Benny's touch was too heavy, and ultimately not even resulting in a shot.The Highlanders were punished two minutes later by Sahal Samad, who finished off a rapid counter-attack to give Kerala Blasters a 2-0 lead. The substitute added another goal six minutes into second-half stoppage time to give his side a 3-0 victory.NEUFC's problems in front of goal, and in defence continue. They remain in last place and will be facing ATK Mohun Bagan at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata next week in search of their first win of the season.On the other hand, Kerala Blasters FC have moved to 7th in the table with six points in five games and will be hosting FC Goa at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
