NorthEast United beat Hyderabad FC 1-0 with a last-gasp penalty to continue their unbeaten streak and go on top of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2019-20 points table. Maximiliano Barreiro scored the lone goal from the spot in the 86th minute after Jose Leudo’s shot caught Hyderabad defender Shankar Sampingraj’s trailing hand inside his own penalty box. The 1-0 win took the Highlanders’ tally to two wins and two draws after four matches in the competition. NorthEast United now have eight points, while Hyderabad FC after their third defeat in four games dropped down to ninth in the team standings with just three points.

Argentine forward Barreiro send Hyderabad goalkeeper Kamaljit Singh the wrong way to convert from the spot and hand NorthEast United the win in an otherwise drab game between the league’s two contrasting teams.

UK Ambassador Watches Hyderabad vs NorthEast United
As a boy going to a midweek night matches in 🇬🇧 was so exciting. Spotting fans in colours in the way, seeing the distant glow of the lights, worrying the traffic will stop you reaching on time even when you are an hour early.

Earlier, NorthEast started with the same playing XI that an entertaining 2-2 draw with FC Goa, while Hyderabad dropped Robin Singh for Gani Ahmed. the visitors were, however, handed a big blow when Asamoah Gyan was forced off but managed to still come home with a vital three points.
