East Bengal looked set for a crucial victory after Youssef Ezzejjari converted an early penalty, but Muhammad Ajsal's dramatic 90th-minute equalizer denied them all three points in a 1-1 draw. The Red and Gold Brigade dominated the early proceedings, capitalizing on A. Dohling's foul to take the lead through their spot-kick specialist. Kerala Blasters struggled to create clear chances throughout most of the match, with manager making multiple substitutions in search of an equalizer. Just when it seemed East Bengal would claim a vital win to strengthen their position, Ajsal struck at the death to rescue a point for the Blasters, leaving both teams with mixed feelings about the result.
