Unlike the home side, Kerala needed a big win to fortify their chances for the playoffs. CK Vineeth, who had scored the opener for the away side, was a menacing presence for the Atk defence. His strengh was difficult to contain for the likes of Tiri and Arnab Mandal.

The Bengaluru FC man gave a hard time to the Atletico back four. The nimble organisation looked close to crumbling under pressure. But the lack of penetration and a decent goal scoring opportunity kept the match level at 1-1.
