#2 NorthEast United FC

NorthEast United kicked off to a flying start winning their first two home games and looked like they were serious contenders for a semi-final spot. However, their season went off the rails thereafter and the side couldn’t win any games at home until the very end when it was frankly too late to do much.
It’s no surprise Kerala Blasters have made it to the finals this year. The team from the south was outstanding at home in the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium winning five of their seven games in Kochi, more than any other side in the league.
After all, the Yellow Army must have felt compelled to do their best since the home support they received was unlike anything else seen in the ISL before. Their fans infused the stadium with a carnivalesque atmosphere that must have appeared daunting to every visiting side. The support of fans made all the difference to the Blasters whose performance was absolutely riveting at times.
