ISL Points table

Agony on MBSG players and fans is visible as they go through their worst slump of form in months. The defeat takes them down to fifth on the points table as Mumbai City move ahead on better goal difference. KBFC, on the other hand, are top of the table with 26 points. Complete points table to follow soon!
The referee blows the final whistle and Kerala Blasters for the first time in their footballing history have defeated Mohun Bagan, who have now lost three matches on the go to fold their 2023!
90+6' Yellow card for KP Rahul right after as he fouls Manvir! He is taken off right after for Sandeep. However, that won't save Rahul from missing the next game due to four yellow cards accumulation this season
90+4' A late freekick opportunity for MBSG some 35 yards from the goal and Petratos fancies taking it direct. The Australian hits it straight into the wall!
Peprah uses the loose ball to hit KBFC on the counter and leads to a cross from the right by Saurav to Daisuke, who hits it first time to Vishal for a big save!
90+3' Late substitution by KBFC as Vukomanovic Japanese attacking midfielder Daisuke for Diamantakos!
90+2' Big save by Vishal Kaith to keep Mohun Bagan in the match! Peprah hits MBSG on the break and plays KP Rahul free to the goal! Rahul had too much time to shoot with no defender around him but gives Vishal enough time to come off his line and narrow the shooting angle for a block!
Six minutes of injury time added!
90+1' Manvir Singh shoots off target! Petratos played the freekick to Manvir shot outside the box in a training-ground set-piece move. Manvir lacked the accuracy to worry Sachin Suresh!
90' Yellow card for Mohammed Azhar for pulling the jersey of Armando Sadikou during a counter attack!
88' Suhail and Manvir are peppering the KBFC box with once cross after another but KBFC defense seems unfazed by it as they are calmly dealing with the aerial balls. MBSG are fast running out of ideas
87' It's one-way traffic at the moment with MBSG desperate for an equaliser but KBFC defense is holding it tight as no clear-cut chances are on the offer! MBSG 0-1 KBFC
85' yellow card for Kwame Peprah for a foul on Hnamte during a one-on-one battle. MBSG will surely use that as an indirect freekick opportunity
83' Drincic with a crucial clearance! Manvir Singh uses his fresh leg to penetrate the KBFC box from the right. His cross was dangerously put to the near post for Suhail before Drincic took it out of play
81' Ferrando uses depth of his bench as he sends in Suhail Ahmed Bhat for Kiyan Nassiri in the closing minutes. The substitution is followed by an attack by MBSG as Asish Rai puts an early cross into the box for Sadikou in the middle but the Albanian couldn't guide his header on target! MBSG 0-1 KBFC
78' Lucky escape for KBFC as during a cross by Petratos into the box, Sadikou goes down inside the box with Noacha's hands wrapped around him. There should have been a penalty irrespective of how the Albanian went down
Late update: Manvir Singh joined play in place of Sumit Rathi for MBSG at the 67th minute
74' Diamantakos shoots straight to Vishal! A promising move by KBFC on the break as Peprah plays Saurav free on the right before getting into the box. Saurav smartly squares it back to Diamanatakos standing alone at the edge of the box but the Greek couldn't create that scoring angle. He sees a yellow card right after for a foul on a rival player MBSG 0-1 KBFC
72' Double substitutions by KBFC as Saurav and Prabir Das come on for Aimen and Pritam Kotal in the midfield and defense respectively
71' Another move on the break by MBSG but KBFC are keeping enough body at the back with the lead in hand. Forces Petratos to shoot with his left-foot from outside the box and he was miserably off target!
70' A threatening move by MBSG as Asish Rai gets a loose ball to deliver into the box for Sadikou on the far post but Sachin Suresh smartly comes off his line and jumps the tallest to collect it! MBSG 0-1 KBFC
67' Another attack wasted following a charge by Kiyan as it eventually leads to an early cross from Asish from the right but goes straight to Sachin Suresh for an easy collection!
63' Kiyan Nassiri with some quality on the right wing as he beats Naoacha Singh on the right and runs into the space created on the flank. Delivers a low cross as well but Leskovic takes it out for a corner! What a shift by the KBFC defender tonight, giving no clear cut chance to MBSG forwards so far MBSG 0-1 KBFC
62' Substitutions by MBSG coach Ferrando as he sends in Armando Sadikou and Lalrinliana Hnamte for Deepak Tangri and Jason Cummings MBSG 0-1 KBFC
60' Another corner for KBFC as a counter from the right sees Danish find space for Rahul on the right. The winger squares it to the near post but Tangri was alert to take it out of play for a corner!
59' Too much power by Petratos as he blasts the ball into the stands behind the goal!
58' A direct freekick opportunity for MBSG as a solo run by Petratos is fouled by Azhar outside the box. Petratos is fancying his chance to score!
56' Danish's shot from outside the box is deflected out for a corner after another counter by KBFC. Aimen behind the counter on the break again as he makes another of those mazy run to get into attacking third! It has been a treat to watch this opening 10 minutes of the second half!
54' KP Rahul shoots off target following a counter by KBFC! Aimen starts it with a direct run from the middle before leaving it for Rahul outside the box.
Meanwhile, MBSG are looking like a much-improved side in the second half as the crowd is getting behind them every time they move ahead. However, quality in the box is still lacking
Defending champions Mohun Bagan play their last match of 2023 and it's a big one as they host Kerala Blasters at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Stadium, popularly known as Salt Lake Stadium, in Kolkata on Wednesday (December 27).
It's a battle among the title contenders as visitors Kerala Blasters have a chance to take sole lead of the ISL 2023-24 points table while Mohun Bagan, who are four points off the top, have the chance to regain third place from Odisha FC, who defeated Punjab FC 1-0 last night.
After nine games, the Mariners are in a vulnerable situation because they have lost their last two games to teams that are closest to them. The run started with an exhausting 2-1 loss at Mumbai City FC's stadium, but FC Goa made a good showing against them, winning 4-1 at home.
With a reduced roster to work with due to a string of injuries and the absence of important players, Juan Ferrando will have to start over and do a lot of searching. The club made an incredible investment to bolster the team by bringing in a number of elite domestic and international players to help them achieve their goals on the national and continental stages.
The latter collapsed after they lost in the AFC Cup group stage, but Ferrando has to restore dignity by challenging for the highest honors in all domestic competitions. However, there is a Kerala Blasters FC team that appears motivated to end their trophy drought this season.
The team led by Ivan Vukomanovic has dismissed worries regarding the injury sustained by captain Adrian Luna, as other seasoned and less experienced players have taken charge and performed admirably when facing other teams.
In Kerala Blasters FC's six ISL games versus the Mariners, they have suffered five losses and one draw. The Kochi-based team is actually one of the three ISL teams, along with East Bengal FC and Odisha FC, that has yet to overcome the Mariners.
