NorthEast United showed resilience and looked like a rejuvenated side in the second half to come from behind and register a 2-2 draw against Kerala Blasters in the 2020-21 Indian Super League clash on Thursday.
Kerala Blasters scored twice in the first-half through Sergio Cidoncha (5th minute) and Gary Hooper (45th minute). The visitors, on the contrary, lived dangerously as they defended poorly and allowed the opponents to create ample opportunities. However, in the second half, Gerard Nus' team changed the tide of the game as they struck through Kwesi Appiah (51st minute) and substitute Idrissa Sylla (90th minute) to bag a point.
