Northeast United vs Kerala Blasters FC ISL 2024-25 Highlights | Noah Sadaoui's equalizer helps Kerala to survive| FT NEUFC 1-1 KBFC

Hello and welcome to Sportz Point's another LIVE coverage of Indian Super League 2024-25 season. Tonight, we will be covering the highly anticipated battle of the Northeast United vs Kerala Blasters FC match at Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati.

Build Up

The Manjapadas are coming from a good 2-1 win against East Bengal at their home while the Highlanders will be looking for a win after a tough 3-2 loss against Mohun Bagan Super Giant in Kolkata in Matchweek 2.

The Durand Cup winners have looked good under Juan Pedro Benali and players like Alaeddine Ajaraie and Mohammed Ali Bemammer have given them the solidity they need at the front and defence. They are currently at number nine position with three points, just behind Kerala Blasters FC in the points table.

On the other hand, Kerala found a new head coach in Mikael Stahre, who is all about attacking and pressing hard. After a gutted defeat against Punjab FC, Kerala found their way back in the second home match against East Bengal with Kwame Peprah scoring a winning goal for them. 

As both teams look to climb up in the points table, get ready to witness some great action on the field tonight. This is Koushik Biswas, who later will be joined by Soumit Bhattacharya with all the real-time updates of the match.
