74: Selfless play from Elano! First the Brazilian let the Denson ball go to Balwant. Balwant then passed it back to Elano. The Brazilain then, instead of hogging the limelight, passed the ball to Balwant who had a better chance to net a goal. Unfortunately, Chennaiyin FC could not score a goal on this occasion.
86: Arindam with another fine save. Elano passed one beautifully towards Mendoza outplaying the FC Pune City defenders. But the hometeam’s goalkeeper did not allow the visitors to add one more goal to their account.
