43' - Chances!
Edu Garcia is late on his challenge on Vicente Gomez and the ATKMB player is shown a yellow card.
Jessel Allan Carneiro takes a shot from afar after some training ground shenanigans. The result is a corner. ATK Mohun Bagan get the free kick.
37' -
KBFC's Ritwik with a golden opportunity but he can't break the deadlock.
Pranoy Halder is booked after the restart and shown the first yellow card of the game for his challenge near the halfway line.
35' -
Edu Garcia was through on goal but his control fails him in the final moment as Costa Nhamoinesu clears it out the danger.
34' -
Roy Krishna takes a short from distance. He was slightly off balance and thus skied his shot in the end. He has in fact not scored against Kerala Blasters. He would want to change that stat!
30' - We have a drinks break as the game completes 30 minutes.
Time for the coaches to get in a few words in the ears of the Kerala Blasters and ATK Mohun Bagan players.
24' -
Bakary Kone climbs high in the air and manages to et his head to ball from corner but directs it in the opposite direction, away from his desired goal. The referee blows his whistle and calls for off-side.
18' - Chance!
What a chance for defence does it's job!
Roy Krishna is on his bike and gets the slips to let loose a terrific shot. Costa Nhamoinesu though is there at the right place at the right time.
14'
Michael Soosairaj has the perfect chance to play Krishna with ATKMB on the break but he misjudges the weight on the ball and the keeper gathers it again.
Two minutes later, he is at it again on the left flank for ATKMB as he brought down by the KBFC defender.
He looks in pain and can't continue. Subhasish Bose comes on in his place.
9' -
Prabir Das has the ball on the right flank and with acres of space in front of him. His ball in the middle is overcooked and Blasters keeper Albino gathers it comfortably.
4'
KBFC pass the ball from the kick-off and after a few nervy passes.
A back pass to the keeper, Albino is slow to react and does well to put in a slide and get the bal back in play.
Sahal get the first challenge on Edu Garcia in the 3rd minute and the from that AKTMB could and get a corner. They could have got ahead early in the opening game. as Roy Krishna ends up scuffing a free shot inside th box.
