The Indian Super League 2019-20 enters its first international break of the new season, with all clubs having played four matches each. Needless to say, FC Goa and NorthEast United’s unbeaten run have made the competition riveting, while individual performances have only escalated fans’ craving for more. But then again, ATK, with a blistering run of form, acquire the top spot in the standings.
As many as 52 goals have been scored in 20 games, which means the tournament averages 2.6 goals per games. But as they say, football is not only goals. There are several attributes which make this sport a sheer treat to the eye. Having said that, we’ve forked out some of the best moments from the tournament so far. So just sit back and enjoy!

Kerala’s young protégé, Sahal Abdul Samad made quite in impact last season, and it is fair to say the only way from here is up. Smooth as a whistle from the 22-year-old.
