Chennaiyin FC secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory over FC Goa in Hero ISL 2020-21 at Fatorda Stadium here yesterday. Early goals in either half set up the victory for the Marina Machans as the Gaurs were unable to make their chances pay and succumbed to a second consecutive loss.
In what was a riveting start to the game, Chennaiyin came close to opening the scoring first. Anirudh Thapa controlled the ball on his chest in the opponents’ box and played it to Jakub Sylvestr but the shot was blocked by Gaurs goalkeeper Mohammad Nawaz.
