Blasters, Dynamos share spoils

PTI

Kerala Blasters secured their first point in the Hero Indian Super league after playing out a goalless draw here on Sunday. Kerala Blasters lost their first two matches with narrow margins. Against Delhi Dynamos, cheered by a capacity crowd again, the home team had their chances to kill the game but for the third successive match, their strikers drew a blank.

Delhi Dynamos were nowhere close to the dazzling performance from their opening match when they upset defending champions Chennaiyin FC. They were the second-best side for long spells and never really had clear chances to grab their second successive victory.

Blasters manager Steve Coppell opted to start with three foreign players up front, handing Michael Chopra his first start of season. Chopra was determined to not just open his account in this edition of ISl but also of his team. The England striker moved quickly, got into open spaces but remained unsuccessful all night.

Dynamos now have four points while Kerala have a point and are just above Goa at the bottom of the table.
