ISL: Blasters target maiden win at home this season

The atmosphere was electric inside the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium a fortnight ago, when India scored a splendid victory over Hong Kong in the AFC Asian Cup qualifier. It may have been a dead rubber as neither had any chance of qualification, but the match was an exciting affair, and it provided great joy to a crowd of more than 22,000.

Kerala Blasters will hope its fans too will come in large numbers for the ISL match against NorthEast United on Wednesday. Those passionate supporters had stayed away in the previous games here this season, and Blasters had dished out some insipid football.

But, things are changing.
