31' SCEB hanging there! SCEB are creating chances at regular intervals but are missing that final good pass that can help them test the keeper more.

28' Chance! Ninthoinganba Meetel is enjoying his time right now as he is full of confidence. He takes on two defenders on the right flank and puts the ball on a plate for CFC forward who falls to hit on target.

19' CFC keeping the ball. CFC players are now happy to keep the ball and build an attack. They are not allowing SCEB players to keep the possession.

15' GOOAALLLL! What a finish by Ninthoinganba Meetel! A stunning strike by the midfielder. Brute power on this one! This is the first time CFC have scored twice in the first half this season. One of the SCEB defenders loses the ball outside their own half. Ninthoinganba Meetel wins the ball and charges ahead from the right flank. He gets inside the box and decides to take the shot. He shoots it from a very tough angle but there was immense power on that one and there was nothing Arindam Bhattacharja could do about it. 2-0 to CFC inside 20 minutes!

11' Lucky escape! Mohd Sajid Dhot tries to pass the ball from his own half but slips and gives the ball away. Marcelo Ribeiro latches onto the ball and takes the shot from the edge of the box but it gets blocked.

7' Offside. Anirudh Thapa is inside the box and he gets a long ball. He flicks the ball to Nerijus Valskis who takes the shot but is found offside.

2' OWN GOAL! What a start this is for CFC! Just the kind of frantic start they needed. Jerry Lalrinzuala gets the ball down the left flank and he sends a lovely delivery inside the box. Suhail Pasha meets the ball and heads it in but could not connect it on time. However, the ball deflects off Hira Mondal's legs and it finds the back of the net. SCEB would be really disappointed here.
