PEEP! PEEP! PEEP! Well, my prediction of Chennaiyin 2-1 Hyderabad finally comes to fruition, albeit all the goals came in the stoppage time of the second half. Andre Schembri had given Chennaiyin FC the lead in the 91st minute before Matthew Kilgallon towered above the Chennaiyin defenders to head home Abhishek Halder's cross. But, the home side had the last laugh as Nerijus Valksis slammed the ball in the 96th minute to give them the all-important three points.

90+6' GOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL! And, Nerijus Valskis gives Chennaiyin FC the lead again.

Edwin Vanspaul with a long cross from inside his own half in the centre. Valskis chests it to Firtulescu who releases the Lithuanian on the left flank. Gurtej is outrun this time and Valskis slams the ball past Kamaljit.

90+5' GOOOOOAAAAAAAAAALLLLL! What an anti-climax! Matthew Kilgallon restores parity for Hyderabad FC at the dying embers of the game.

Abhishek Halder with a swinging cross. No one marks Matthew Kilgallon as Eli Sabia fails to read his run. Lucian Goian and Nerijus Vakskis had towered but no one marks the Englishman.

90+4 Hyderabad FC wins a corner here. Can they get a goal back here?

90+1' GOAAL! Andre Schembri finally finds the goal for Chennaiyin.

Anirudh Thapa with a crossfield cross in the right-wing to Dragos Firtulescu. He lays it off for Edwin Vanspaul and the right-back gives a swinging cross to the far post. The ball ends up on the feet of Lallianzuala Chhangte who passes it to Andre Schembri. Mohammed Yasir was caught napping there. The Maltese Falcon goes for the far post and Kamaljit is finally beaten.

Five minutes have been added on.

90' Chennaiyin ping a long ball from the left flank and Nerijus Valksis tries to fight for the ball with Kamaljit and fouls him.

89' Rafa Lopez Gomes is down and he will take all the time in the world to come up. Hyderabad FC are playing for a draw here.

87' Mohammed Yasir collects the goal-kick from Kamaljit Singh and the youngster tries to go for glory after wriggling past Germanpreet but it ends up as nothing but an ambitious effort.

86' Lucian Goian is down with a cramp in the opposition penalty box. That should wind down the clock. And, remember a draw doesn't help either of the teams here.

85' Hyderabad FC make their final change. Both the Brazilians are now out of the pitch.

OFF- Marcelinho
ON- Abhishek Halder

85' Vishal Kaith's long ball is straight to the substitute Andre Schembri and the second ball falls to Chhangte on the left wing. He gives a brilliant low cross across the face of the goal but Valskis is a tad late and can't meet it.

84' Gurtej Singh and Firtulescu heating things up further here. Gurtej had Firtulescu by the scruff of his neck and he goes into the book for it. Remember boys, this is just a football game.

83' Chennaiyin FC with the last throw of the dice here. John Gregory makes his final change.

OFF- Rafael Crivellaro
ON- Andre Schembri

82' Firtulescu runs down the left and tries to give a low cross but Gurtej Singh stands tall and averts the danger for a corner.

81' Both the teams are attacking with full intent but the humidity seems to have sapped their energy levels and their creativity has hurt massively.

OFF- Rohit Kumar
ON- Shankar Sampingiraj

77' TACKLE BY LUCIAN GOIAN! Rohit Kumar with a brilliant through ball finding Mohammed Yasir on the right wing. But, Lucian Goian the last man for Chennaiyin in this case, sticks out his leg to avert the danger.

75' An interesting stat being displayed by the ISL team on our idiot box. Hyderabad FC has conceded the most number of goals this season (3).

74' Tondonba Singh with another long throw and Kilgallon's clearance is only as far as Crivellaro. The Brazilian takes a shot but a host of Hyderabad FC bodies ahead of him means the ball can't go anywhere near the goal.

72' Chennaiyin bail themselves away with some dangerous defending. Mohammed Yasir on the right wing gives a low cross to Gani Ahmed but his shot is blocked. It falls to him again but Lucian Goian stoops low to clear the danger ultimately.

71' Marko Stankovic gets the ball but his stud catches the knee of Lallianzuala Chhangte. Luckily, the Chennaiyin winger is fine.

70' Tondonba Singh with a wonderful long throw but Hyderabad FC players pinball it to head away the ball from outside the box. The ball finds the feet of Firtulescu who slips and Hyderabad FC breaks on the counter.

OFF- Masih Saighani
ON- Dragos Firtulescu

OFF- Thoi Singh
ON- Germanpreet Singh

66' CHANCE! Mohammed Yasir with all his pace goes down the left flank and tries to give a minus ball across the face of goal. But, Afghanistan's defensive midfielder Masih Saighani gets to the end of it before any Hyderabad player and clears the ball.

65' Hyderabad FC makes their first change. They are taking off the debutant.

OFF- Bobo
ON- Gani Nigam

61' CROSSBAR! Chennaiyin hits the crossbar once again and this time it is Eli Sabia. Anirudh Thapa gives it to the Brazilian just at the outside of the box and with his first touch goes for glory. Kamaljit was beaten but the crossbar saves the day for Hyderabad FC.

60' Bobo goes in the book for a high boot on Tondonba Singh. Welcome to the Hero ISL!

59' SHOT! That is a brilliant full-stretch save from Kamaljit to keep the scoreline intact. Crivellaro gets past his marker but sees a host of body ahead of him. He goes for glory from just outside the box. The shot is on target but Kamaljit is equally adept to the challenge and dives to deny the ball nestling into the top left corner.

57' SHOT! Bobo takes a defender with him and waits patiently for Marcelinho's run. When he does so, he sets him free and the Brazilian takes a shot from a narrow-angle but Vishal Kaith saves the shot.

56' Robin Singh is having a wasteful game here. Rafa Lopez Gomes passes it to him and goes for a long ranger despite Anirudh Thapa being straight in front of him.

55' SHOT! Stankovic with a woeful mispass and the ball ultimately ends up with Thoi Singh inside the box on the right. He crosses it in for Lucian Goian who had come forward but the Romanian's header is inches wide. Chennaiyin miss another golden opportunity to take the lead.

54' Thoi Singh with a brilliant chip trying to find Valskis but it is a tad quick and Kamaljit comes off his line to catches it.

49' Crivellaro with an inswinging corner but it is headed outside the box. It falls kindly to Thapa on the outside of the box and he takes a shot after going inside but Kamaljit catches it and holds on to it.

48' CHANCE! Marcelinho goes to the far post with his free-kick and Robin Singh gets his foot to it. He tries to centre but his looping cross is too high for every Hyderabad player and the danger drizzles away.

47' First yellow card of the game goes to Anirudh Thapa for taking down Mohammed Yasir to whom he had lost the ball.

46' Crivellaro is the playmaker for Chennaiyin here. The Brazilian samba dances past Rohit Kumar in a diagonal run and is ultimately brought down here by him. Chennaiyin with a free-kick from a dangerous position.

46' We are back here for the second half as Chennaiyin gets us going from the right to left side of our screen.

That's it. The referee blows his half-time whistle. Both the sides had golden opportunities to take the lead but abysmal misses from Chennaiyin's Chhangte and Hyderabad's Robin Singh means the teams enter the tunnel with the same scoreline with which they had come out. Don't go anywhere and stay tuned for the second half of the Chennaiyin FC vs Hyderabad FC game in ISL.

45+1' Rohit Kumar tries to release Marcelinho on the counter but the referee raises his flag. However, the replays suggest he was onside actually!

45' MISS! And, now Robin Singh misses a golden opportunity to give Hyderabad FC the lead.

He goes for the top corner but his shot hits the side netting.

43' CHANCE! Anirudh Thapa goes past Marko Stankovic right through him and he is at the byline inside the penalty box. He gives a minus ball trying to find Thoi Singh at a hand-shaking distance from the goal. But, Matthew Kilgallon sticks his leg from behind to concede only a corner.

41' Thoi Singh is through on the counter this time and he tries to do a cut back. But, Edwin Vanspaul hadn't come forward this time and Hyderabad regain the possession.
