#2 NorthEast ease themselves into the game and looked dangerous

They may not have started the game on the right note but, slowly and steadily, NorthEast United flexed their muscles and created the better chances during the first half. While Gokulam looked slick, The Highlanders were patient and looked to create chances from the counter.

Usual suspects, Marcinho and Danilo ran the show for the whites and did well to build the attack. Rowlin Borges who was out of color during the ISL season was far more impressive tonight and looked confident in the middle of the park.
They may not have had the same intensity as Gokulam but NEUFC were extremely clever in their approach. Their cautiousness in the opening minutes gave way to incisive football.
