Liston checks in and rolls the ball to Stewart in the middle of the box. Getting the ball on his preferred left foot, Stewart tries to tuck the ball inside the net with a first-time finish but Zabaco makes an excellent goalline clearance, ensuring that his team stays in the lead. 

Petratos lobs the ball to Manvir at the far-post as the latter tries to head the ball inside the net. He almost gets it over the line but the connection wasn’t the best, which allows Gurmeet to catch the ball before it went over the line. Also, Tondonba did well to put Manceer under pressure. 

Liston trie to put in a driving cross from the left but overhits the ball as it goes out of play. That is the last bit of action before the match halts briefly for a drinks break. 

Manvir has a chance to score a quick equaliser again but fails to find the target with his left-footed shot from the centre of the box. 

That is one of the best counter-attacking goals you’ll see. Greg Stewart’s curling shot is blocked and NorthEast launches a counter attack. Jithin finds an outlet in Ajaraie, who sends the ball back to Jithin. Carrying the ball inside the box, Jithin spreads it to Ajaraie again, who lashes a shot across the face of the goal and finds the far corner -- an excellent finish to finish off an excellent move. 

Liston makes one of his trademark penetrative runs from the left flank as he attempts to venture inside the NorthEast box. However, Zabaco does well to stop him in his tracks and clear the ball to safety. 

Ajaraie tries to swing a cross inside the box from the right but it is blocked and the deflection is kind to Kaith who plucks the ball from the air to end the Highlanders attack. 

Macarton takes a shot from the edge of the box, which is deflected out for a NorthEast United corner. Bemmamer indicates that he should have played the ball to him inside the box as he was in a better scoring position. 

Petratos’ freekick finds Dippendu inside the box who heads the back where it came from. The looping header completely catches out NorthEast keeper Gurmeet Singh and the ball ends up at the back of the net. 

Ajaraie drops a shoulder on the right wing and cuts back to Bemmamer. The Moroccan takes a first-time shot. The connection is pure and the low shot fizzes past a helpless Kaith and rattles the back of the net. 

Jithin puts in an excellent cross from the right, which finds Ajaraie at the far-post. He connects with the ball first time, but his effort rattles Kaith’s near post and comes back into play.
