The defending champions Chennaiyin are enduring a nightmarish season, sitting at the bottom of the points table with a solitary win and 10 defeats while Pune is at seventh spot with 11 points and will look to push forward with six games in hand.
The hosts are up against FC Pune, the only team they have beaten this season. However, Pune are on a winning spree of two matches and would be eyeing victory in their first match after the break.
HALF TIME!
The referee blows the whistle for half time as players go back into the tunnel. So far it has been an exciting contest but we are yet to witness a goal. Both the teams had their opportunities but poor finishing have definitely let the spectators down.
FREE KICK
Another set-piece for Chennai from the edge of the box but the skipper Raphael Augusto fails to hit the target. After a couple of short passes with Thapa in the right side, the Chennai player takes an aim at the goalpost but his shot sails over the crossbar.
Anirudh Thapa is back on the pitch after receiving some treatment following the strong challenge by Robin Singh.
Chennaiyin FC are finally getting the grip on the match as they are creating more chances. Will the hosts score the opener tonight?
Chance wasted
Chennai waste an opportunity as Kamaljit Singh fails to clear an incoming ball towards CK Vineeth. The goalie gets a mild touch as he tries to punch the ball away and pushes it towards Halicharan Narzary on the right. Narzary, who was open and had plenty of time, blasts it way above the goalpost for a goal-kick.
The referee books Marcelo Pereira for his needless challenge on Laldinliana Renthlei.
Chennai defender averts another danger
Diego Carlos shows some great footwork on the right side of the box. He dribbles past two defenders and delivers a low cross, which is eventually cleared by Chennai defender.
Early chance for Pune
A great chance for the visitors in the first minute of the match. Robin Singh controls a lofted delivery inside the box, but fails to threaten the goalkeeper as he goes down following a nudge by the Chennai defender. The referee is not intrested as Singh appeals for a penalty.
Kick Off
The referee blows the whistle and the match between Chennaiyin FC and FC Pune City is underway at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai. Lets Football!
The players have arrived in the middle for the Indian national anthem and we are moments away from the kick-off.
