Tempers boil over at the Kanteerava as the players are involved in a scuffle as authorities rush onto the pitch to keep things in check.

19:26 (IST)17 DEC 2017

Full Time:
Bengaluru FC 1 - 2 Chennaiyin FC

A well-deserved win for the Chennaiyin FC side as they inflict the first defeat for the Bengaluru side who were relegated to mere passengers in front of the goal by the effective Chennai defense. A late goal from Chhetri sparked a hope but Dhanpal Ganesh put it to rest soon.

19:24 (IST)17 DEC 2017

90+4' - Mihelic is down holding his head as the frustration runs through in the Bengaluru player as Dovale threw the ball into the face of Mihelic.

90' - Five minutes of added time as Chennaiyin FC are 2-1 ahead at the end of regulation time.

19:19 (IST)17 DEC 2017

19:18 (IST)17 DEC 2017

88' - GOALL!! Dhanpal Ganesh scores for the away side as he rises well to head past Gurpreet Singh after a great delivery into the box from Rene Mihelic. Could this be the game over for BFC ?

19:15 (IST)17 DEC 2017

85' - GOAL!!! Chhetri scores and equalizes for Bengaluru as the captain is found open on the left side and the Indian skipper does what he does best. Chhetri controls the ball well and finishes past Karanjit Singh who is left helpless in the goal.  A rare failure from the away side in defense.

19:12 (IST)17 DEC 2017

18:56 (IST)17 DEC 2017

66' - Jerry is booked for a foul on Udanta Singh but the replays show and the commentators also confirm that it was not a foul and Udanta dived. The refereeing today has been consistently poor.

18:53 (IST)17 DEC 2017

18:50 (IST)17 DEC 2017

60' - Nworuh is down on the pitch as his battle with Khabra continues. The Bengaluru right-back has been reckless throughout the match and takes out the foreigner with a pull-back again.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to today's Indian Super League action as we have a double-header lined up for us. The first match of the day will see Bengaluru FC return to their 'Fortress' as they host Chennaiyin FC at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru. The second match will be live from the 'Arena' as Mumbai City FC take on defending champions ATK as they aim for a third home win on the trot.

16:20 (IST)17 DEC 2017

Super Sunday of the Indian Super League is here, and the cash-rich tournament brings us the mega clash between the two arch-rivals from the south – Bengaluru FC and Chennaiyin FC – who are all set to get the South Indian Derby underway at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru, today. 
 
Bengaluru have been on brilliant form, so far this season, winning four of their five matches so far. Their only loss of the season came against FC Goa at the Fatorda Stadium, which also happened to be their first away match of ISL 2017. A win today will take Bengaluru to the top of the table above FC Goa. 
 
Meanwhile, Chennaiyin had also been on a magnificent run of form, and are placed just one spot behind BFC on the ISL table. Chennai boss John Gregory has shown that both he and his side are not afraid of changing things around when things are not working.
