Chennaiyin FC made a winning start to their 2020-21 ISL campaign after beating Jamshedpur FC 2-1 at Tilak Maidan Stadium here yesterday.
First half goals from Anirudh Thapa and Esmael Goncalves set the Marina Machans up nicely, while former Chennaiyin frontman Nerijus Valskis scored Jamshedpur’s goal eight minutes before the break. It took Chennaiyin just one minute to get on the scoresheet. Rafael Crivellaro won the ball in midfield and passed it to the right for Goncalves, whose cross was buried into the bottom corner by Thapa following a perfectly timed run into the box by the India international.
