21:24 (IST)6 DEC 2018

That defeat - their eighth - has finished the season for Chennaiyin FC.
The defending champions will not make the playoffs and we'll have a new winner in the ISL this time.
Raynier Fernandes and Modou Sougou ensure Mumbai City win 2-0 and climb up to the second spot on the table, three adrift of table-toppers Bengaluru FC.
A deserving victory for Mumbai but it's curtains for Chennai.

21:21 (IST)6 DEC 2018

90+4' Too late for Chennaiyin FC to get anything out of this game. They are slowly retreating.
And---PEEEEEEEP! PEEEEEEEEEEEP! PEEEEEEEEEEP!

21:20 (IST)6 DEC 2018

Four minutes added.

21:20 (IST)6 DEC 2018

90' GOOOOOOOOOO----NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
That's offside.
Orlandi with a wonderful effort from outside the box, going towards goal but the punch from Amrinder flows the ball to the crossbar. Thoi Singh, just like Sougou earlier, is there to slot it in but the linesman rules it out for offside.
Chennaiyin FC coach John Gregory is furious and he even blocks the camera from capturing his reaction.

21:16 (IST)6 DEC 2018

88' Substitution - Mumbai City FC
OFF - Arnold Issoko
ON - Pranjal Bhumij

21:15 (IST)6 DEC 2018

87' Mumbai are keeping possession and looking to play out the 90. Chennaiyin put pressure and steal possession.
Salom, Issac and Augusto exchange passes and Tondongba plays a cross in, which is collected by Amrinder. 

21:11 (IST)6 DEC 2018

83' DUMMY PIECE!
Matias Mirabaje plays a dummy but there's no teammate behind him to capitalise on that.

21:07 (IST)6 DEC 2018

79' CLOSE!
Orlandi takes a shot from the edge of the box - a push towards the bottom-right actually - and it's a great save by Amrinder to leave no chance for Thoi Singh to pump it in on the rebound.

21:05 (IST)6 DEC 2018

77' Arnold unleashes pace down the right but Orlandi intercepts.

21:01 (IST)6 DEC 2018

Yellow - Rafael Bastos (Mumbai City)

20:58 (IST)6 DEC 2018

69' CHANCE!
Sougou almost close to making it 3-0 in Mumbai's favour. A long ball into the box and the Senegalese makes a run for it. He beats the goalkeeper with his first touch but the Chennaiyin FC defenders surround and prevent him from scoring.

20:54 (IST)6 DEC 2018

66' Raphael Augusto has to spend some time outside the pitch because of tussle with Sehnaj Singh.
Sehnaj had won the ball but the follow-through got Augusto.

20:51 (IST)6 DEC 2018

62' Substitution - Chennaiyin FC.
OFF - Inigo Calderon
ON - Andrea Orlandi

20:49 (IST)6 DEC 2018

60' GOIAN NOT LETTING IT GO IN.
Two sliding challenges by Lucian Goian deny Chennaiyin FC any chance at pulling one back in this game.

20:45 (IST)6 DEC 2018

55' DONE AND DUSTED!
Sougou with a poacher's finish. Rafael Bastos gushes into the box by playing the ball to himself through a defender, takes a poke at goal from the right, which is forced away by Sanjiban.
Sougou, however, jumps on that loose ball, plants it into the back of the net.
All over for Chennaiyin FC.

20:40 (IST)6 DEC 2018

52' MISS!
Back-to-back chances for Chennaiyin and it's the second chance really that could have given them the equaliser.
Cross into the far post from Issac. Raphael Augusto is caught in awkward leap. He has the goal wide open to head it in but he is only able to shoot above the frame.

20:38 (IST)6 DEC 2018

51' LOVELY!
Bastos
waits to play the pass and then gets involved in a 1-2 with Paulo Machado while barging into the box. Lovely move but it's broken down by Mailson.

20:36 (IST)6 DEC 2018

47' CHANCE!
Arnold drops it nicely from the left for an unmarked Paulo Machado but the Mumbai City captain's volley is over the bar.

20:34 (IST)6 DEC 2018

46' BACK ON!
Chennaiyin FC are 45 minutes away from being out of the contention for the ISL playoffs. They need to get two goals past the adamant Mumbai City defence at this stage.

20:22 (IST)6 DEC 2018

PHEW!
The hosts, Mumbai City FC, have almost completed the job of knocking out the defending champions from the title contention of the ISL. They have a 1-0 lead at the break, thanks to a well-taken shot by Raynier Fernandes. Modou Sougou was close to doubling the lead for Jorge Costa's side but was unlucky to see the ball bounce off the crossbar.
Chennaiyin FC have had a couple of chances but Thoi Singh and Carlos Salom have been unable to test the Mumbai defence with a great attempt.
Second half coming up.

20:18 (IST)6 DEC 2018

45+2' WOODWORK!
Arnold
wins possession and Mumbai look threatening on the counter again. Sougou makes a great run, Mailson fails to return to defend for Chennaiyin and he tries to chip it above CFC goalkeeper Sanjiban - a great shot but bounces off the frame.
And that's the end of the first half.

20:17 (IST)6 DEC 2018

45+1' The follow-through to the challenge on Augusto earns Sehnaj a booking.
Yellow - Sehnaj Singh (Mumbai City)

20:16 (IST)6 DEC 2018

Two minutes added.

20:16 (IST)6 DEC 2018

45' TOUCHING DISTANCE.
Raphael Augusto plays the pass of the game to Thoi Singh but the winger, instead of squaring it to Carlos Salom or Issac, tries to pick the far post from the left frame. It flows across.

20:13 (IST)6 DEC 2018

42' POWERLESS POKE.
Thoi Singh is free at the edge of the box but he shoots with his weaker left foot and that's easy-peezy for Amrinder.
Another near-post attempt by Chennaiyin FC is cleared away and Raphael Augusto is down in pain now after a challenge by Arnold.

20:10 (IST)6 DEC 2018

40' COUNTER!
Mumbai get rid of a corner and push forward. And there's a brilliant ball by Machado again to Arnold but Eli Sabia intercepts.

20:06 (IST)6 DEC 2018

35' HIGH BY THOI!
Chennaiyin FC are pushing up front and creating a lot more chances now.
Issac floats a wonderful ball in from the left and Thoi Singh towers over his marker to get a header in but the glance is only inches over the bar.
Amrinder had it covered though.

20:03 (IST)6 DEC 2018

32' SAVE!
And that further piles the pressure on Chennaiyin FC.
Carlos Salom is inside the box and no one is able to stop that ball by Raphael Augusto.
Salom tries to slot it into the bottom-left corner but Amrinder makes a diving block and drifts the ball away for a corner.
The Argentine striker was actually offside there but the linesman failed to read that.

20:00 (IST)6 DEC 2018

30' ISL over for Chennai? Looks likely.
Remember, they cannot drop any more points if they want to qualify for the top four. If Mumbai win this, they will move up to the second spot on the table.

19:58 (IST)6 DEC 2018

27' RAYNIER REIGNS IN MUMBAI!
Raynier scores his second goal of the ISL and what a way to do it!
Receiving the ball at the edge of the box, he looks up, turns, fires the ball in between the legs of Eli Sabia and it's not like it has a lot of power either.
But it's beaten a diving Sanjiban Ghosh to roll into the bottom-left corner. 

19:56 (IST)6 DEC 2018

25' Another Mumbai move is broken at the centre of the box. A couple of defenders round up Bastos and don't allow him to reach out to that chipped ball by Machado.

19:53 (IST)6 DEC 2018

22' CHANCE!
Issac's free-kick to the far post is directed towards Mailson but the Mumbai defence head it away just in time.

19:50 (IST)6 DEC 2018

20' NO FOUL?
Machado breaks on the counter but is stopped at his tracks by Tondongba. The hosts feel undone by that and Jorge Costa is furious with the officials.

19:47 (IST)6 DEC 2018

17' Salom goes for a first-time shot from the left after a wonderful through-ball by Raphael Augusto. It's nowhere near the goal and flows wide.

19:46 (IST)6 DEC 2018

15' Chennaiyin FC break into the opposition box, Lucian Goian slides to stop Carlos Salom from shooting. The ball is still near Salom and he goes down after being dispossessed by Joyner Laurenco expecting a penalty. Nothing from it.

19:42 (IST)6 DEC 2018

12' FOOT FAIL.
Sauvik Chakraborty starts a run and he goes all the way up to the box, playing a one-two with Sougou but he loses his footing and that's the end of that promising move.

19:40 (IST)6 DEC 2018

10' Sougou's lucky touch is not cleared and he sets up Rafael Bastos nicely on the left side of the box but the shot lacks power and is no worry for Sanjiban Ghosh.

19:36 (IST)6 DEC 2018

5'  CHANCE!
Machado splits the Chennaiyin FC with a clever through-ball for Arnold but Eli Sabia recovers and CFC can breathe...for now.
Off the corner, Lucian Goian tries to find the top of the net, but it's over the bar.

19:33 (IST)6 DEC 2018

3' COLLECTION!
Chennaiyin FC steal possession and Issac goes for a cross ... or was it a shot?.... and Amrinder pockets it well.

19:32 (IST)6 DEC 2018

1' KICK OFF!
Chennaiyin FC are playing a game of survival here and Mumbai push up the field from the word go.

19:23 (IST)6 DEC 2018

Lothar Matthaus, fomer Germany captain and World Cup winner, is in the audience for the game. Matthaus is representing the Bundesliga, which has recently tied up with IMG Reliance for the promotion of football.

19:12 (IST)6 DEC 2018

Jeje Lalpekhlua has been benched. John Gregory has fielded Carlos Salom as the striker. To accommodate the foreigner, Orlandi is pushed to the bench. Anirudh Thapa and Tondonba Singh are in the XI but Jerry Lalrinzuala has been left out from the squad.

19:01 (IST)6 DEC 2018
