Defending champions ATK and last edition's losing finalists Kerala Blasters played out a dull goal-less draw in the opening match of the fourth edition of the Indian Super League yesterday. The match between two sides, who have featured in the two summit clashes of the earlier three editions so far, did not rise to any great heights with very few goal-scoring chances. This was the first time that ATK drew their first away match in an ISL edition, having won in the earlier three occasions. Former Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov made his ISL debut but he could not do much in the whole match.
