Half-time report: A wonderstrike by Jayesh Rane and a Lanzarote penalty handed ATK a 2-1 lead over Chennaiyin FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium in Chennai. Chennai had a goal of their own, scored by Thoi Singh, in the 24th minute, in a game that has been an end-to-end stuff with movements all over the pitch. Both the teams carved out chances for themselves, the first of which came in the seventh minute when Auguusto did wonderfully to get inside the box from left and roll it across the face of the goal to the far post for Orlandi who practically had the goal gaping in front of him but his left-footed strike missed the target. Minutes later, Orlandi got another opportunity when he cut in from right, opened up space for himself and tried to find the far corner with a left-footed strike that sailed a little over the crossbar. The first goal of the game came in the 15th minute when Jayesh Rane stepped in from the right flank, found himself in space and cracked a right-footed bullet from outside the box that ended up in the back of the net. Chennai replied in kind within 10 minutes when Thoi Singh scored from the right edge of the box after his first-time shot bulged the bottom-right of the net. Lanzarote then went close to scoring twice in the next 10 minutes but couldn't keep his shot down on both occassions. He did get his goal though, in the 44th minute, from the penalty spot after Hitesh's shot from inside the ball was handled by Eli Sabia. Lanzarote rolled the ball comfortably into the bottom right corner as the keeper slided the wrong way.
