North East United, although a Guwahati based team, aims to connect with all the eight North Eastern states. They seem to be on course.

The NorthEast states are united! And this, is only the beginning. Here's to many more wins! @NEUtdFC #LetsFootball #TheHighlanders

Former East Bengal player Penn Orji was one of the top players for Kerala Blasters.

Penn Orji has been playing in India for 5 years now. Understandably more comfortable with the pitches and weather. #ISL

Durga Boro almost became the first Indian to score in ISL. David James has other ideas. Both the shot and the save was world class.

David James saves an absolute stunner from Durga Boro… never expected that something like this would had happened thank you #ISL #NEUtdFC

Michael Chopra was disappointing today… I remember how we begged him to play for India back in his better footballing days.. #isl

Another Indian doing well was Robin Gurung

Robin #Gurung looks like a really really good full back ! #IndianSuperLeague quick and dribbles well!

Despite Kerala’s dominance, they could not score. I man who stood between them and the NEUFC goal was Greek goalkeeper Alexandros Tzorvas.
