Chennaiyin equalized thanks to Mailson Alves' header in the 81st minute from a free-kick into the box. It could have so easily been avoided though.

After the Dynamos had cleared from a Chennaiyin attack, the ball fell to Lallianzuala Chhangte. Under no pressure at all, the youngster just had to get control of the ball and he could have initiated a quick counter. But in his haste, he used his arm to get the ball under control.

That proved to be very costly for the Dynamos, a story of their season. Rene Mihelic's delivery was attacked by Mailson, who got there before Delhi's keeper and defenders could, to pull his side level.

Chennaiyin were in danger of losing two on the bounce for the first time this season, but a helping hand from Chhangte changed that.
