Indian Super League Highlights 2016

Mumbai City Fc v/s Chennaiyin Fc (2 - 0)

The match was pretty tight... Both teams made lots of chance but only one team could end up finishing those. Chennaiyin, though they didn't make as much as chances as mumbai did, they did have plenty of opportunities where the last move or touch goes wrong.... Overall the match was good.

Match Summary:

The game took some time to come into life as both teams began with short exchanges without creating any real opportunities. The very first chance of the game came Mumbai’s way in the 13th minute when Diego Forlan’s shot from outside the box was deflected behind. The resulting short corner saw the first shot on target as Defederico drilled his shot into the penalty area and Sunil Chhetri’s clever back-flick was grabbed by Chennaiyin goalkeeper Karanjit Singh.

Mumbai kept seeing more of the ball and made their pressure count in the 32nd minute when Chhetri played in a lovely ball from the left and Defederico was at hand in the box to smash home the 100th goal of Hero ISL 2016 and Mumbai’s opener.

Raphael Augusto tried his luck from distance in the 37th minute as Chennaiyin went for a quick response but his shot was straight at goalkeeper Amrinder Singh, who caught the ball comfortably. As half time approached, chances were few and far between, barring Forlan’s free-kick that took a slight deflection off the wall and was parried away by a diving Karanjit. The teams went into half time with the score-line 1-0 in Mumbai’s favour.

The second half started off much like the first, with no clear-cut chances for either team till the 60th minute when Forlan looped in a cross from the right and found Vadocz, who chested the ball down and volleyed a belter into the back of the net to double Mumbai’s advantage.

Chennaiyin tried really hard to get back into the game but failed to create any decisive chances. Chhetri, at the other end, then had a double chance within the span of a minute. First he was on his way towards the goal after Forlan put in a clever pass over Bernard Mendy from the left in the 79th minute but the Indian blasted his shot over as the Frenchman closed in with a last-ditch tackle. The very next minute, Chettri was again through from the left, and although this time he had more time to shoot, he only managed to blaze his shot over goal one more time.

Chennaiyin then had a chance in the 85th minute as Davide Succi tried a shot from just outside the box but it went agonisingly over the crossbar. Mumbai then wasted a great chance to go 3-0 up in the 89th minute when Forlan put the ball on a plate for Thiago Cunha from the right. But Cunha was denied by Karanjit, who managed to get a strong hand to the ball. That turned out to be the last chance of the match as it ended 2-0 in favour of Mumbai. With the win, they also became the first team to qualify for the semis this season.

Summary of the Match

The hosts began the game strongly but it was Pune who looked more likely to score. Momar Ndoye caused a lot of flutters in the NorthEast backline with his runs down the left flank, while Emiliano Alfaro brushed the side-netting with his free kick at the other end as both teams tried to find their feet in the opening few minutes.

Pune were clearly the better team as they dominated the proceedings. Jonatan Lucca found himself in acres of space just outside the box but he wasted the golden opportunity by putting it over the bar. The Stallions continued to pile on the pressure but failed to find the back of the net as another opportunity went begging after an unmarked Eduardo Ferreira failed to connect with the ball.

NorthEast earned back-to-back corners but they weren’t able to do much with them as Pune continued attacking with great alacrity. Anibal Rodriguez cut past two men before seeing his shot deflected away, while Gustavo Oberman hit his attempt straight towards Subrata Paul at the other end. A few yellow cards were flashed as the Highlanders were able to keep a leash on the Stallions with the score standing 0-0 at halftime.

                        

Nicolas Velez ran through the Pune defence to earn a corner as NorthEast began the second half on a positive note. But it was only a flash in the pan as a dull passage of play ensued with both teams being guilty of making scruffy passes. The game sprung back to life past the hour mark when Katsumi Yusa’s shot was kept away from danger and the ensuing rebound by Romaric was blocked.

Pune too were not to be left behind as Lenny Rodrigues unleashed a thunderbolt from distance but unluckily for his side it only rattled the post. Velez could have claimed the winner soon for NorthEast but missed a great opportunity with only a man to beat. Pitu then volleyed in a shot from point-blank range but it was expertly dealt with by Paul in goal for the Highlanders.

The deadlock was finally broken late into the game when Ferreira handled the ball outside the box. Romaric did the rest as he fired it past Edel Bete to make it 1-0 for the Highlanders nine minutes from time. Pune immediately went in search for the equaliser. Pitu fired it straight towards the keeper as the hosts held on to their advantage, ensuring a victory and valuable three points in the process.
