Veteran Ghanaian striker Asamoah Gyan converted a penalty last Saturday to help NorthEast United to draw 1-1 with Kerala Blasters in the Indian Super League.

The Black Stars forward captained the team in the absence of José David Leudo in a Match Week 10 fixture played at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium as they fought for 3 points.

Kerala Blasters took the lead in the first half courtesy a strike from Bartholomew Ogbeche which ensured they went into the break with the lead.

Less than ten minutes into the second half, NorthEast United was awarded a controversial penalty. Ghana’s all-time leading top-scorer Asamoah Gyan stepped up and converted to get his side back on level terms.

Though both clubs tried to get on the scoresheet again, there were no other goals as the match ended in a stalemate.
