“Obviously very, very disappointed with the result,” the new coach said at the end of the keenly fought ISL match on the Vishu day. “When you get chances, as good as we had, of course you have to score, and the game is finished and it is over. The longer it goes on at 1-0, they are always going to keep pushing and pushing the opposition and they are going to get chances at this level.”
And that is what happened. The visitors found the equaliser with just a couple of minutes remaining in the normal time.
Westwood, who assumed charge only a fortnight ago midway through a frustrating campaign for Blasters, was hoping his boys would add another three points, after the away victory against Bengaluru FC.
That was, in fact, the last away game for Blasters. All its remaining matches are at home. It will take on Jamshedpur FC on Saturday.
The Blasters remain second from bottom, and therefore still face relegation threat alongside Mohammedan Sporting, which has lost all its seven matches. The two struggling sides come face to face on May 10.
Given the improvement the Blasters have shown under Westwood, and the way the team has become stronger with the additions of Ndiaye Fallou, Karim Benarif and Franchu, there is reason to hope that they could improve the standing before the truncated season is over. But, they need to win games.

After that morale-boosting victory in Bengaluru, Kerala Blasters was just two minutes of normal time away from another win, which would have been the first at home this season. But, that was not to be, as NorthEast United struck in the dying minutes to make it 1-1.
It was a lively match in which the two teams, that have struggled in the Indian Super League, fought bitterly and created plenty of chances, but only two of them turned into goals. And one of those was an own goal.
NorthEast’s Andy Rodriguez was credited with that goal which put the host ahead with just four minutes remaining in the opening half. Fallou Ndiaye played the key role in the making of that goal, though.
AS IT HAPPENED | KBFC vs NEUFC Highlights
Following a free-kick, Karim Benarif stormed into the box and found Ndiaye, who first came up with a header and then a bicycle kick. And the ball travelled to Parthib Gogoi and then the unfortunate Rodriguez.
The Blasters continued to press hard, and even came close to increasing the lead, but never managed to. They, however, looked like claiming another three points until substitute Lalrinzuala Lalbiaknia struck for the visiting side at the death.
The Blasters’ goalkeeper Arsh Shaikh had come off his post, but failed to clear the danger from Robin Yadav, another substitute. Lalbiaknia ensured the rebound would be the equaliser.
NorthEast has now seven points, and Blasters five.

So far, there are two distinct ways to attack, at least ones apparent to me. For NEUFC, it’s more about whipping in crosses, either from the right through Jithin MS or booting the ball forward from the backline, in hopes of finding the likes of Parthib up front.
For Kerala, it’s more about build-up play, with Vibin, Yoke instrumental in finding that through ball forward.
