66' Chennaiyin FC's defence have been like a wall tonight, not leaving any space for Mumbai City FC forwards to play in their half.

Mendoza has been taken off as Elano makes way.

Even though their attack have been almost unbeatable tonight, It is worth mentioning that Chennaiyin FC's defence has been solid so far. Intercepting almost every other incoming cross, pressing the right players and picking up the right tackles. Even goalkeeper Edel has looked really confident. This team looks great from all ends.

54' Pelissari chooses to take a shot instead of passing the ball but the shot proves to be to weak as it goes out of play.

49' Jeje's shot on target is cleared off by Subrata Pal.

46' Chennaiyin FC seem to have taken a step back from their attacking prowess in the second half as they look satisfied with a three goal lead.

The second half resumes.

Another blistering half ends in Chennai as goals from Mendoza, Jeje and Mendy have us leading 3-0 at half time. #CHE #CHEvMUM #LetsFootball

30' Mendoza lays it back for Thoi Singh after another long ball from the latter but his shot is too far wide.

Ball possession so far: CHE 62%-38% MUM

26' Mendoza almost gets his second of the night following a long ball from Mendy, but Subrata Pal is successful in keeping the shot out.

Chennaiyin's possession game has been strong so far as Mumbai FC players seem to have given up already.

Looks like a hamstring injury as Raphael Augusto is stretchered off. He is replaced by Manuele Blasi.

20' A cross from Wadoo is headed away by Bertin. Play has stopped now Raphael Augusto is receiving treatment.

17' GOOOOAL! Jeje with the second for Chennaiyin. It was a cross from Dhanachandra that initiated the attack. Assisted by Thoi Singh.

Mumbai City FC are finding it difficult to keep the proactive Chennaiyin FC attack away. It will be a long, long night for the visitors tonight.

8' GOOOAL! Mendoza with a beautiful goal as he bags his 11th of the season. It was Zakeer who found Mendoza with a great, long pass.

8' Mendoza almost scores an opener from a rebound of Pelissari's shot from a long-range.

Jeje earlier had an attempt at goal but the ball went over the bar.

4' Free-kick won by Norde but nothing comes off it as the cross is a bit too powerful.

It's raining pretty heavily here.

Chennaiyin FC XI: Edel, Wadoo, Potenza, Mendy(c), Dhana, Thoi, Augusto, Zakeer, Jeje, Mendoza, Pelissari.

Mumbai City FC XI: Subrata, Rowilson, Bertin, O'Dea, Fanai, Ashutosh, Chhetri, Bustos, Aguilera, Norde, Piquionne.

Kick off!
