This insurmountable force was noted with the early yellow card that Kerala Blasters received at 00:08:07, just seconds before the first yellow card of NorthEast United at 00:08:10. This powerful game-play paid off and was reflected in the scoreboard with two back-to-back goals at 00:41:35 and 00:43:33, both in the first half. The proficiency in execution and finessing the goal towards the late part of the first half played a decisive role in the momentum and overall outcome of the game.
While both teams had an equally low number of fouls, with 5 for Kerala Blasters and 3 for NorthEast United, the issue of discipline seemed to be focused on the side of NorthEast United FC.
