A Comprehensive performance from the Blues help them register their first win of this season. Two Goals in the first half was too tough to handle by NorthEast United as they conceded another one in the second half.
NorthEast United lacked the creativity and the final balls to cut through the Chennaiyin Defence where as Chennaiyin FC scored on regular intervals to remain as the protagonists for the entire match.
With this goal, Chennaiyin FC goes up to the peak of the league.
85' GOAAAAAAAAAAAL! Inigo with a curling freekick which is saved first time by Rehenesh TP off the post only to be headed in by Mohammwed Rafi into an open net.
61' After several half chances from NorthEast United in the second half, Chennaiyin FC have slowed down the game and are keeping the ball to themselves.
It's been an Chennaiyin Juggernaut here in the Marina Arena as Hakku's own goal and Augusto's goal has put Chennaiyin in the driver's seat. The Highlanders did try to get back into the game but failed to do so courtesy a resilient performance from Chennaiyin's back four.
Stay Tuned for the second half as NorthEast United chase a 0-2 deficit.
24' GOOAAAAL! The Blues double their lead as it's Augusto again. Bikramjit chips the ball to Nelson who heads it in the ball as Augusto slots it in past a hapless Rehenesh.
