#3 Newlywed Seiminlen Doungel scores hat-trick
This wasn't on the cards. The second best team in the ISL were up against the second worst team on Friday. Chennaiyin were expected to dominate NorthEast from the get-go. However, both sides found themselves on equal footing.
What seemed like a dull game, came to life when Seiminlen Doungel scored an opportunistic goal, late in the first half, to give the Highlanders an unexpected lead. Cezario's zipping shot was parried away by Chennai's keeper but Doungel pounced on the loose ball and buried it into an open net. He then topped it off with two more superb finishes to score a sublime hat-trick, the first by an Indian this season.
Sunil Chhetri isn't the only Indian footballer who got married recently. 24-year-old, Seiminlen Doungel got married on 12th January and returned tonight to produce a truly memorable performance after his wedding. A great return gift to all his well-wishers.
