85 - Boris advances down the right flank, plays it into Suresh, who as guided into a weird angle by the Chennai defenders. However, Suresh, out of a lack of options, than anything else, played a backheel, but no Arrows player was there to capitalise on that.

78 - Chance! Arrows get a free kick in a dangerous position, as Suresh floats it in for Anwar Ali. However, the latter's shot on the volley was too weak, and was collected easily by the keeper.

65 - Chance! Chennai get a free kick in a dangerous position. Gurpreet lines up the shot, which takes a little dip in the end, putting Dheeraj under some pressure. Fortunately for the keeper, the ball just hit the bar.
