After tonight's draw against ATK, Kerala Blasters now have 21 points from 15 games. They have three matches remaining and their pursuit of a spot in the top 4 seems well and truly out of bounds.

When Berbatov scored a sublime goal from distance to give his side the lead, Blasters coach, David James immediately asked his players to keep their calm realising that an equaliser could kill them off.

That is exactly what transpired. ATK defender, Tom Thorpe's well-taken header found the back of the net and virtually ended Kerala's dreams of a playoff spot. What could have been a hat-trick of wins ended in a 2-2 draw. A result that just will not cut it for CK Vineeth and co.
