Mumbai drew level on 11 points with third-placed FC Pune City but remained below them on inferior goal difference.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">The first half ended goalless with both team&#39;s showing willingness to go forward but chances created were few and far between.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Both teams were keen to keep possession and wary of getting exposed by a swift opposing counter attack.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Mumbai goalkeeper Subrata Pal was the pick of the players in the first session, pulling of several saves to deny Kerala.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">The home team looked certain to score early through an accurate header from Nigerian midfielder Penn Orji only for Paul to effect a brilliant diving save.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">After the breather, both teams went for the win with coaches summoning attacking players to the pitch.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">And Paul remained Mumbai&#39;s saviour as he continued to thwart Kerala with his superb athleticism and judgement.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">The closest both sides came to opening the account was when Mumbai midfielder Tiago Ribeiro&#39;s shot hit the post.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">The Swiss player took a first-time shot, only to see his effort rebound off the right post.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">That pretty much summed up the proceedings of the match.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">Kerala take on Delhi Dynamos away Nov 16 while Mumbai entertain FC Goa Nov 17 in their next fixture.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
