Kolkata, Feb 5 (UNI) From among the eight clubs in the Hero Indian Super League, NorthEast United FC are the only team who haven’t tasted success.
They have had some inspiring victories, they’ve even got off to a solid start in the ISL, but for all their effort and support, NorthEast United have never made it to the semi-finals in four attempts. They are the lone team to have such a record, but if you looked at their start in the ISl this season, many fans believed the wait would end.
Not anymore. As the race for the play-off hots up, Eelco Schattorie’s men are holding the final play-off ticket - the fourth position in the standings. They have accumulated 23 points from 14 games, largely thanks to a good start to the season, but amidst fitness concerns and other selection issues, NorthEast are without a win in four matches.
