Chennaiyin Tease
83’ Chennaiyin can easily kill this game off on a counter but they don't. They win the ball launch ahead and then pull back. It's a serious tease.

Thapa in the Mix Again
84’ Gregory Nelson plays another superb through ball for Thapa, but its a bit too heavy and gathered by Debjit.
Eugeneson Goes Wide
85’ Eugeneson has another potshot. And you know what it wasnt as far as Karanjit thought it was. It was wide though and that’s what counts.
Injury Time Bet Anyone?
86’ At this point perhaps we can all play a game called, How Much Injury Time? Four minutes. Because it’s always four minutes.
Debjit Thwarts Thoi Singh
87’ Thoi Singh has a chance. He is played into space on the right, and drives fiercely. Debjit saves at his near post.
Thapa the Hero
89’ The broadcast says Anirudh Thapa is the Hero of the match. It’s hard to argue with that. He has been brilliant in the second half, and his assist and goal are the difference.
Poets Can Blog Too
It was a well fought win for Chennaiyin. A hard loss for the ATK poss(e). I’m a poet. And you know it. That’s all from me for tonight folks. Live long and prosper.

92’ There’s five minutes of stoppage time. The referee is a bit of a renegade.
FULL TIME
So then. Goa will play another Chennai in the finals. Chennaiyin FC at that. And those two have history, most famously in ISL-2 when a massive altercation at the end of the game led to players spending a few hours in jail, and owners being banned from the ISL. Times have changed though. And they will continue too. The game moves on. Goa have a chance to finish their brilliant season on a high. Chennaiyin have a chance to finish their bad season on a high. We look forward to that. For tonight that’s it. Enjoy the Champions League tonight.
