#3 ATK waste their set-piece opportunities in the second half
Kerala Blasters realized that ATK could hurt them if they allowed the game to be operated in a free way. Committing advanced fouls high up in the pitch is a tactic being used commonly by many teams nowadays and the Kerala Blasters were no different on this front.
ATK got a lot of free-kicks from dangerous position but the deliveries from Javi Hernandez let them down. The deliveries were either too low, failed to cross the first man, or completely waywards on a number of occasions.
Edu Garcia substituted him in the 74th minute to make amends for it but the move came too late. He delivered a good free-kick in the 84th minute but it was headed away by Jairo Rodrigues.
In the dying minutes of the game, he found Balwant Singh in a free header with his corner-kick but it was well above the bar.
