89' Liston Colaco's beaten Gaurav Bora, and then fallen on the floor. Referee immediately asks him to get up. That's a wrong call, Bora has surely caught Liston. Bad call from the ref.
84' JOGA BONITO! BOUMOUS! He's slalomed past both Ameeruddin and Edwin. He doesn't square it Coro, who's waiting in front of an empty net, but he's tried to beat Boerchio at the near post and missed it.
82' CORO! Almost the hat-trick! Stunning defending from Tarif! Manvir is played in with a superb pass from Boumous, and he cuts it back to Coro. He's smashed that with his right foot, but Tarif has slid in with a stunning block
81' Fall the wall! Manzi has slalomed his way past Gama and Pena after receiving a super lobbed pass from Sandro. Fall has slid in at the perfect time with a tackle, Chennai City corner.
78' Sensational counter-attack from Goa.... up until the final ball. Brandon plays a super through ball to Lenny on the left flank. He looks to cross it low for Krouch, but Charles has just nicked in before the Moroccan, and put it away.
77' What a stunning exchange of passes between Boumous and Manvir! And then Boumous with the tekkers! He's left Tarif wondering where he's gone, but Boerchio has come out and smothered it.
75' That's a super ball from Boumous into the feet of the rushing Krouch, but he's started his run in behind a little too early, and the assistant has flagged for offside.
72' Jacki with a rasping drive! Superb move from Goa, Jacki teases the whole Chennai City defence, and then plays it out of his feet for a left-footed strike, but it's gone a whisker above Boerchio's goal.
66' Romario's hit the bar! That was Chennai City's big chance! He's taken the ball and run with it from his own defensive third. He's beaten a couple of Goa defenders, and then he's unleashed from a long way out, Nawaz is unsure of its flight, and he sees it hit his crossbar.
63' Boumous finds Pena at the far post with the free kick. The defender rises and gets a header off target, but he's flagged offside anyway. So it wouldn't have counted.
61' Sriram strides forward from midfield superbly, and Brandon has tracked back and brought him down. The referee has blown for a foul, and Brandon is booked for dissent.
60' Poor effort from Brandon to squander a good chance. That's another super cross to the far post from Jacki on the right side. Brandon looks to smash the volley home, but doesn't get good enough contact on it.
58' Superb defending once again from Saviour Gama. Romario once again has possession on the right, but the young left-back is superb in the tackle once again
54' Coro has missed an open goal! That's a stunning move from Goa! Boumous has rolled a superb through ball to Jacki, and he's squared it Coro across goal. With the goal gaping, Coro's left-footed shot on the stretch has evaded Boerchio's goal.
48' Nestor is played in by Ajithkumar with a super pass, and the officials have got it wrong. He's onside and through on goal. But the assistant's flag has gone up.
47' Coro plays Seriton through on the right, and he tries to do a few stepovers, but loses control of the ball himself. Good defending from Ajithkumar to stand his ground
45+1' Nestor finds Romario on the right, and he looks to cut it back for Sandro on the penalty spot, but Lenny is there to intervene and put it out for the conre.
44' Romario this time finds himself on the byline. His cross towards Ajithkumar at the far post is well defended by Seriton - reliable as ever for Goa.
43' Once again, Brandon finds himself on the by-line. Once again, he's played in by Boumous. His cut back towards Krouch at the penalty spot is cleared by Bora
40' Beautiful football from Goa! Boumous is toying with the Chennai City midfield here! He's played Brandon in on the left flank, but his low cross towards Jacki is intercepted and caught by Boerchio.
38' A slip from Ajithkumar lets Jacki in on the right flank, but he's teased the full-back a little too much, and ended up confusing himself in the process. He's lost possession.
Jacki finds it on the right wing, crosses it in, Bora misses it. Coro receives it, jinks past Charles, and puts it straight past Boerchio into the far post.
34' That's good from Gama! Romario gets on the end of Nestor's pass to the right, and then looks to speed away from Gama, but the young left-back recovers and slides in to make a superb challenge.
33' Chennai City have grown into the game in the last few minutes. They're playing with more confidence in possession, and with a little bit more luck, they could've had a couple of more chances.
