Fatorda: Scott Neville’s stunning header in the dying moments helped SC East Bengal snatch a point from Kerala Blasters in the Hero Indian Super League 7 match at the Tilak Maidan here on Friday.
Jordan Murray put Kerala ahead in the 64th minute before Neville’s stoppage-time equaliser (90+5) ensured that SCEB extended their unbeaten run to six games. The result mirrored that of the reverse fixture between the two when Kerala had punished SCEB with an injury-time equaliser.
SCEB fielded an unchanged XI while Kerala made only one change as Nishu Kumar returned to the starting line-up.
The first half was an end-to-end contest, with both sides creating plenty of chances but strikers on either side lacked the finishing.
Both keepers were tested early on. And it was Kerala who created the first big chance of the game. Receiving a diagonal ball, Murray fired a shot that was parried away by Debjit Majumder.
