New captain Anirudh Thapa then made it count for his side winning a penalty as he was brought down by Hitesh Sharma inside the box.įormer AS Monaco man Vladimir Koman stepped up to deliver a powerful piledriver that gave goalkeeper Laxmikant Kattimani no chance, breaking the deadlock with little over 20 minutes to play.Ĭhennaiyin led against the run of play leaving Manolo Marquez to make four changes at a go. Chhangte arguably had the best chance of the night when he beat Akash Mishra on the run, cut in and shot hard, only to be tipped off by Kaith. Mirlan Murzaev and Lallianzuala Chhangte proved hard to contain. Kyrgyz playmaker Mirlan Murzaev almost gave Chennaiyin a glimmer of hope late in the first half, but his header went off-target from a darting cross in by Reagan Singh.Ĭhennaiyin carried over the momentum post the break. Ogbeche missed more than handy chances but substitute Nikhil Poojary's work-rate near the box only gained him new admirers. Hyderabad were in fact wasteful in the opportunities the brittle Chennaiyin defence gave them. The Himachal Pradesh-born was tested a few times but he emerged unscathed. That did not deter their resolve to stamp their impression as former ATK Mohun Bagan man Edu Garcia's shot was cleared away in a hurry but Bartholomew Ogbeche could not follow through.Ĭhennaiyin had goalkeeper Vishal Kaith to thank for keeping the former champions in the game. Hyderabad, whose average age of its Indian players in the lineup was just 24, was dealt a major blow early on with Halicharan Narzary limping off in under 10 minutes. Vladimir Koman (66' P) scored from the spot to give Chennaiyin a crucial lead, ultimately sealing all three points as Hyderabad were left to rue their wastefulness in front of goal, especially in the first half. In a game of determination to last the longest, Chennaiyin FC pulled off a hard fought 1-0 win over Hyderabad FC, here in a 2021-22 Hero Indian Super League (ISL) match at the Athletic Stadium in Bambolim on Tuesday.
