Chennaiyin took the lead through Mulder’s goal but failed to hold on to it

Chennaiyin took the lead through Mulder in the 70th minute and after that had enough chances to put the game beyond ATK. Dudu’s miss in the 83rd minute, turned the game on its head, as ATK broke at the other end to earn a debatable penalty.

The Nigerian replaced Succi in the 67th minute and played some lovely football. The play to open up the ATK defence almost resulted in a goal for the Nigerian, but for his poor touch. However, the Nigerian should have done better when he was only 3 yards out as he failed to tap in the ball.

Materazzi will hope that he doesn’t dwell on such a miss as he looks to find an adequate replacement for the goal-threat provided by Mendoza last season.
