90+5' ALMOST! Jackichand plays a reverse pass to send Forlan clear, but slightly overhits his pass and Karanjit intercepts to clear the ball.
90+4' Chennai are still desperately searching for a goal, but Goian stands firm making another headed clearance.
90' 5 minutes of injury time.
90' WHAT A SAVE! Forlan is sent clear and unselfishly squares the ball to Cunha with just the goalie to beat, but Karanjit makes a stunning one-handed save to deny him!
89' Forlan swings in a free-kick from the left and the ball is cleared out to Sehnaj, who goes for glory, but it is well over.

86' Sunil Chhetri is replaced by Jackichand Singh
85' SHOT! Davide Succi blasts the ball over the bar from the edge of the box.
84' Mumbai have found much more space as Chennai push up the field and leave gaps in defence. Forlan tries to send Chhetri clear but mishits his pass.
80' WHAT A MISS! Chhetri leads a counter-attack and spreads the ball to Forlan, with the striker returning a superb clipped ball to Chhetri in space on the edge of the box, and he blazes over after Mendy pressurises him into a rushed shot.
Moments later Chhetri is in space on the left edge of the box yet again, but blazes over this time too!
79' The game has quietened down considerably, with Chennai struggling to create anything of note.
72' Cafu goes off with an injury and is replaced by Cardozo
71' Chennai have had most of the ball in the last few minutes, but Riise and Daniel have been stifled down the left wing, with Mumbai's defence staying organized.
67' Daniel and Dudu come on to replace Raphael Augusto and Zakeer.
66' SHOT! Jayesh Rane chests a cross from the right wing down to Raphael Augusto and the Brazilian shoots way ovr the bar.
64' Chennaiyin FC heads have clearly dropped after conceding the second goal - they are barely interested in moving the ball forwards, passing the ball across the back.
58' OH NO! Mumbai clear the ball out and Cafu produces a superb long ball to send Forlan clear, but the ball takes an awkward bounce off the turf and holds up. The Uruguayan can pass to Sunil Chhetri who had made a superb run forward down the left in acres of space, but mishits his pass and the move breaks down.
57' Goain trips Jayesh Rane on the right wing and Chennai have another chance to fashion an opportunity. Riise to take it yet again.
56' Sabia heads Riise's free-kick out of play with a glancing header. The Chennaiyin defender could have done better there.

53' Jayesh Rane with another cross into the box after making a mug of Sena Ralte. He earns another corner.
50' Nearly! Chennai's short corner results with the ball collected by Mulder on the right wing, and he produces a deep cross to Mendy at the far post, but the Frenchman is inches away from connecting with the ball.
48' Riise channels his inner Rory Delap and sends in a bullet of a throw in that causes chaos in the Mumbai defence, but they eventually clear. As the ball finds its way back to Chennai later, Rane does well to nutmeg his marker and send in a cross, with appeals for a penalty turned down as his cross is cleared by Goian's arm.
47' Almost! Sunil Chhetri and Cafu burst into space on the left edge of the box, but the linesman has his flag up for offside. Replays show it was a marginal decision
46' PEEP PEEP PEEP! Chennaiyin get us underway in the second half. Can Marco Materazzi's men make a comeback or will Mumbai cement their semifinal spot?
The teams have exited the tunnel, kickoff in the second half is moments away!
Minutes away from the second half, stay tuned!
It was a fitting goal to bring up ISL's 100th this season. A superb team goal worthy of Barcelona's best, with Sunil Chhetri at the heart of it. Matias Defederico applied a cultured left foot to end the move, but the build up to the goal will surely be replayed for years to come.
45' 2 minutes of injury time.
45' SAVE! Forlan strikes his free-kick supremely well, dipping the ball over the wall and watching it creep towards the bottom corner, only for Karanjit to get down and make a super save!
44' Vadocz is caught by a Mulder from behind and Mumbai have a free-kick in a promising position. Forlan steps up to take it....
43' Jeje's injury seems to have cost the Super Machans greatly - Jayesh Rane replaced him in the lineup and he has been pitiful tonight, underling the point with an aimless cross into the box that goes out of play.
41' OUCH! Mendy clatters into Forlan from behind as they challenge for an aerial ball, but the Frenchman lands awkwardly and looks to have come off worse. Forlan takes the eventual free-kick, but Sabia heads the ball out with reassured calm.
39' Mendy hammers a long ball forward to Succi and the Italian does well to lay the ball off to Mulder, but the ball bounces away from him in the box.
37' SHOT! Raphael Augusto wrongfoots Cafu with a dragback and turn, before powering a curling shot towards the top corner with his right foot. Amrinder positions himself well and collects the ball, calmly.
36' Chennaiyin have a chance to put that bad decision aside, as Riise lines up to take another free-kick from the right wing. The Norwegian shoots at goal, and Amrinder collects with ease.
35' MARCO MATERAZZI IS LIVID after unsuccessfully appealing to the referee for a handball, as replays confirm that Gerson had handled the ball while clearing Riise's free-kick.
34' They can't. Riise sends in a good ball, and Mumbai clear it out with ease, with Forlan hacking the ball clear later.
33' Riise is fouled and Chennaiyin have a free-kick in Mumbai's half. Can they offer a swift response?
30' Chennai defend the corner well and start off a counter-attack, but Jayesh Rane is crowded out and the move breaks down. Mumbai respond with a counter off their own, and Chhetri bursts down the left wing and sends in a low cross, only for Chennai to clear.
29' NEARLY! Good football from Mumbai in midfield has them eventually finding Forlan on the right wing and he arrows a cross to Chhetri at the far post, only for Wadoo to head the ball out for a corner.
27' After the players get treatment, play resumes, with Riise taking a free-kick. The delivery is beautifully curled into the far post and Sabia is inches away from heading the ball with the goal at his mercy. It's a goal kick though, and Amrinder breathes a sigh of relief.
26' A clash of heads leaves both Jayesh Rane and Cafu on the ground, with replays showing it was unintentional.
25' Wadoo with another long ball to Succi in the box, and Amrinder collects it with ease. Awful, awful stuff.
