SCEB 0-0 KBFC [45:00 min]
KBFC was far better than SCEB today. Why ? Let’s see.
- Beautiful mid block for KBFC, so matti stainman was not seen.
- Beautiful numerical pressing of KBFC.
- Bright was playing in the CDM position that’s shows how much problem is there with the ball supply.
- Milan sing should be replaced by chetry as soon as possible.
- SCEB should focus more on the game inside their half. Lots of unforced error was happening there.
- KBFC still having problems regarding finishing. I really can’t understand the Garry showcase hooper’s position in the starting 11.
Hoping for some goal in the 2nd half.

East Bengal 1-1 Kerala Blasters: Scott Neville scores late to earn Red and Golds a point
Scott Neville scored a late equaliser to earn East Bengal a point against Kerala Blasters in an Indian Super League (ISL) clash on Friday at the Tilak Maidan.
Jordan Murray gave Kerala the lead in the 64th minute from Albino Gomes’ long ball. The Australian beat Rana Gharami in pace before finding the back of the net. But drama unfolded in the final few seconds of the match when Neville equalised with a clinical header from Bright Enobakhare’s pinpoint corner to seal a point for the Kolkata club.

SCEB 1-1 KBFC
SCEB was really scattered in this match. Scot navil after wasting a lot of match finally contributed in this game. But today Scot navil was in good touch.
The goal that SCEB has conceived was a complete mistake from defense. Rana gharami was completely out of position. Other wise a GK can’t assist a goal in regularity.
However a miss kick in the last minute from rahul KP results a corner, from which BEN10( bright) delivered a swift floater for Scot to finish.
Well the equation is getting tougher for both the team match by match in terms of top 4 slot.

and only the 2nd goalkeeper in ISL to provide an assist!
Kerala Blasters Head Coach Kibu Vicuna After the Match
"It was like the other match against East Bengal. That time we scored and this time unfortunately they did. We conceded the corner and we conceded. We are disappointed because we worked hard to get the three points but didn’t get it.
"We are trying to improve the results. In the beginning, we conceded too many goals playing from behind so we are trying to avoid those passes and play from the side. I think with the players we have with Gary and Jordan and we created chances.

SC East Bengal Head Coach Robbie Fowler After the Game
"I think we were losing the game and to get the equaliser, it keeps us rolling. Not a good goal to concede, I don’t know if it was offside, will have to see. Aaron’s chance, he should have scored probably. We’ll take the point.
"He’s been incredible since he came in, we’ve got players who are playing well and so we can’t drop them, which is why Aaron came in late. He is a handful, he has the strength, gets his body on the line. He’s got every attribute of being a great striker.
“Ajay Chhetri is obviously new, we’ve got him on loan. He’s a talented player, he can get the ball moving. He is a young lad and we have to look at him in the next game but we’ve got to play him well.”

Actually both this team has different issues. KBFC has severe finishing problem. They spent 10cr. for Garry Hooper. I can bet you he wouldn’t even score 10 goals in this season. Murry is finishing now a days but he misses more.
Where as SCEB has tremendous problem in defense. If you have seen today’s match you will see Scot navil was good, but he use to get out of the defense line very often to venture in the mid field. That creates a vacuum in the defensive organization, rana gharami or narayan das didn’t have that ability to overcome that. Again this team has a problem about identifying indian footballer.
They played milan sing over ajay chetry and harmanprit over rafique in the starting 11 which is not correct. Anyone who follows indian football can tell you this.
If both the team address this flaws they can qualify but seriously speaking it’s very difficult.

For the second time in Hero ISL, late drama ensued between SC East Bengal and Kerala Blasters as they played out a hard-fought 1-1 draw. After a goalless first half, Jordan Murray broke the deadlock, courtesy of an assist from goalkeeper, Albino Gomes. Kibu Vicuna’s side looked to be on the verge of securing back to back wins but Scott Neville netted an injury time header to secure a point for the side in Red and Gold.
