Bengaluru and NorthEast United are impatient to show off their new people and abilities: It's the first game of the Indian Super League season.
These teams have little in common geographically as NorthEast United have to travel 3200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
