Full Time : ATK 0-2 Chennaiyin

A better and more offensive Chennaiyin side register a comfortable 0-2 win over ATK to book a date with FC Goa in the Final on 13th April in a 2015 Indian Super League final repeat.

Chennaiyin FC looked the better side all throughout the game with larger share of possession and more shots on goal, doing justice to the scoreline. As for ATK, they did not just really fire tonight and were scrappy throughout the 90 minutes.

HALF TIME : Chennaiyin FC 0-0 ATK

A cagey first half marred with numerous half chances but seldom any clear cut chances except the Gregory Nelson and Dhanpal Ganesh ones which ATK did manage to survive. Chennaiyin FC have been a notch better with their passing and play upfront, both at the end of the 45 minutes, it is all-square. Time for Plan B for both the sides?

Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for the Second half! 

21:17 (IST)10 APR 2019

45+2' Manuel Lanzarote also has been booked for his altercation with Christopher Herd, earlier on.

37' Perfect ball from Dhanpal Ganesh to find Anirudh Thapa on the far post but the youngster got his feet tangled up and ran the ball away for an ATK goal-kick. All he needed to do was go for the shot first time or play CK Vineeth who was just lurking along side him. Poor touch by Thapa there. 

21:05 (IST)10 APR 2019

33' Dhanpal Ganesh goes for goal from distance but the shot is well wide of the target. 

21:01 (IST)10 APR 2019

20:47 (IST)10 APR 2019

14' Gregory Nelson swings in a inch-perfect corner to the far post from the left corner towards Dhanpal Ganesh who fails to make a contact with the ball by a whisker.

20:39 (IST)10 APR 2019

9' Eugeneson tries his luck from distance, goes for a shot but is wide. 

20:39 (IST)10 APR 2019

7' MISS! Brilliant low ball from the left flank from Jerry Lalrinzuala towards CK Vineeth, who manages to get away from his marker and get a footing on to the incoming ball but the end result is a wide attempt. That was close. 

20:36 (IST)10 APR 2019

5' Quick give and go between Jayesh Rane and Balwant Singh which leaves the Chennaiyin defence stranded, the ball ends up with Lanzarote outside the box who tries to curl it in the far corner, but the shot is well wide of the target.

20:26 (IST)10 APR 2019

The teams are walking out towards the middle of the pitch amidst the ever familiar FIFA Anthem.  We are minutes away from kick-off. 

20:15 (IST)10 APR 2019

Talking about Pronay Haldar's absence, Coppell said, "He has been terrific in the  two games we have played so far. Given the unique nature of this competition this year, there could have been a different interpretation of the bookings rule. But having said that, if you commit an action which the referee sees to be a questionable foul, then you have to be punished. But it becomes an even hollower competition if star players 
are not available on either side to play the semi-final or the final."

20:14 (IST)10 APR 2019

John Gregory showered praise on the ATK team and reiterated how difficult it is to  break down a Steve Coppell-coached outfit. "I’ve said this before; Coppell's teams are very difficult to break down. They played well against Delhi Dynamos, with our former player Balwant Singh scoring a hat-trick. (Manuel) Lanzarote is always a danger as well. We will try to keep him quiet," he said.

Hello and Welcome to Sportskeeda's LIVE coverage of the Super Cup second semi-final between ATK and Chennaiyin FC. This is your host, Sayak who will keep you company throughout the next two hours or so. 

19:40 (IST)10 APR 2019

After two back to wins on the trot, ATK and Chennaiyin FC would like to one step further to register their maiden place in the Super Cup Final as they lock horns in the second semi-final of the cup. The semi-final also comes up a perfect opportunity to redeem themselves for this season after a disastrous Indian Super League campaign for both of them. Chennaiyin FC finished bottom of the ladder in the League while ATK finished sixth.

Both teams have had a swing in their form and fortune for different reasons. Chennaiyin FC have had a more sturdier defense in the two Cup games they featured in. Mailson Alves has been rock solid at the back. Anirudh Thapa and Jeje Lalpekhlua have got their form back and are being regulars on the scoresheet, much to John Gregory's relief. The Blues defeated the Highlanders 2-1 and the Islanders 2-0 in the run up to the semi-final.

ATK also have had a similar bettering of form. With the likes of Lanzarote, Edu Garcia and Everton Santos at the back, they are a side to be wary of. ATK's midfield has been successfully complimenting it's forward line by creating numerous chances for Balwant Singh and co. The Red and Whites defeated Dynamos 4-3 in an exhilarating encounter and eased past Real Kashmir by 3-1 in the previous rounds.

The game is expected to be a toughly fought contest with possibility of any team going up to the final.

The game will be LIVE on Star Sports 3, hotstar and JIO TV at 8:30 PM IST from the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneshwar. Sportskeeda will bring all the LIVE updates on the Live Blog as well.
