ISL 2017/18, Match 86: Bengaluru FC vs Kerala Blasters, 5 Talking Points

#4 Game slows down considerably in second half

Midfield action during the Bengaluru FC versus Kerala Blasters game

After a hectic first half during which both sides consistently tested each other in the final third, the second half was a tad quiet for the crowds liking who attempted to breathe life into the game.

High pressing from both teams meant neither had the time to build their attacks with precision. Being their last game of the season, Kerala ought to have played more freely but Bengaluru did well to keep them at bay with some clever defending.

The likes of CK Vineeth and Gudjon Baldvinsson rarely had a sniff at goal. At the other end, Miku was the quietest he's been all season and he cut a frustrated figure all night long.
