Close!

Meanwhile, ATK's Victor Mongil comes on for Armando Sosa Pena!
Oh! Save!
80' - Vishal Kaith comes out of his box to keep Chennaiyin FC in the contest. What a ball from David Williams from deep towards Edu Garcia.
Schembri bows out!
76' - Chennaiyin FC make their second substitution. Andre Schembri goes off to bring down curtains on his illustrious career, as Dragos Firtulescu takes his place on the field.
That was close!
70'- Almost the equaliser!
70' Brilliant header, matched by an equally brilliant save!@NValskis rose high and powered his header downwards, only for @iArindamB to once again come to @ATKFC's rescue.

ATK 2-1 CFC#HeroISLFinal #HeroISL #LetsFootball
GOAL! What a rocket of a strike. Nerijus Valskis pulls one back for Chennaiyin.Is the comeback on for CFC or will ATK hold on?
That's his 15 goal for Valskis, which means he is now level with ATK's Roy Krishna.
CHENNAIYIN FC 1-2 ATK
Substitution!
66' - ATK make their second change as Regin Michael, who had got a yellow card, comes off and in his place comes on Pronay Halder.
What a minute of football!
64' - Bodies on the line stuff from ATK and on the counter, Prabir Das is on his bike. He gets past the Chennaiyin FC defender and takes a shot at goal as he sees Vishal Kaith taking steps to his right. The goalkeeper though comes back over to his left ot make a save.
That's too high!
59' - A yellow for ATK’s Regin Michael for his kick into Edwin Vanspaul. He had his studs up as he crunched into the Chennaiyin FC player. He should consider himself luck given that he had his foot up near his opponent’s shoulders...
52' - Chennaiyin FC come close!
52' | Chhangte goes close!

His shot from the edge of the box goes just wide of the second past.

51' - Meanwhile, Armando Sosa Pena gets a yellow card for his ill-timed tackle on Rafael Crivellaro at the centre circle.
48' - GOAL! Edu Garcia with his 6th goal of the season doubles ATK’s lead!
What a cool, calm, collective finish from Edu Garcia. Is that the goal that will give ATK their third title and the second for manager Antonio Lopez Habas.
CHENNAIYIN FC 0-2 ATK
2nd HALF! We are back underway for the last 45 minutes of the season.
At the end of which we will have a 3-time champion. Who will it be? Chennaiyin FC or ATK?

The second half is underway in Goa. Let's turn this around! 💪

HALF-TIME! Javier Hernandez‘s goal in the difference between the two teams
Good football from both sides but it is the Kolkata-based side who lead going into the break.
The two chances and the two misses from Nerijus Valskis will come to haunt Chennaiyin.
As for ATK, Roy Krishna’s injury will mean that the others will have to step up in his place, especially David Williams.
HALF TIME

4⃣5⃣ more minutes to get the job done.#ATK 1-0 #CFC#HeroISLFinal#AamarBukeyATK#BanglaBrigade pic.twitter.com/RFgp0o1xGp
Roy's Night Comes to an End!
40' - Looks like Roy Krishna will not be able to complete even the first half. He seems to have pulled his hamstring. Just minutes ago, he was late to the through ball and was easily closed out.
He looks distraught as he walks off the pitch. He is replaced by Armando Sosa Pena.
Save!
31' - Arindam Bhattacharja pulls off another save!

One more save from @iArindamB to deny Schembri's header to go in.#ATK 1-0 #CFC#HeroISLFinal#AamarBukeyATK#BanglaBrigade
Valskis straght to the keeper!
27' - Another chance for Nerijus Valskis. His shot is straight at Arindam Bhattacharja. The ATK keeper stops the shot and his defence helps him out to clear the danger.
How has that not gone in?
23' - Roy Krishna, from the right, tries to dink the keeper from an impossible angle. It is cleared off the line and it falls to Javier Hernandez, who again smashes it into the ground. Laldinliana Renthlei is again at the right place and at the right time.
Substitution for CFC!
21' - Germanpreet Singh is brought off and in his place comes on Edwin Sydney Vanspaul. He was down on the ground and looked in pain.
He was on a yellow too!
21' @germansingh28 has failed to shake off an early knock, and he is replaced by @edwinsydney 🔃

10' - GOAL! What a finish! Javier Hernandez gives ATK the lead! Brilliant pass from Roy Krishna off the left flank!
From defence John Johnson sprays the ball on the left to Roy Krishna, who dribbles past his marker and sends in a cross. David Williams is seen rushing towards the ball but he lets it go and Javier Hernandez hits the ball on the volley. The ball bounces off the ground and over the keeper… into the aback of the net.
CHENNAIYIN FC 0-1 ATK
Yellow card!
6'- Germanpreet Singh of Chennaiyin FC brings down David Williams after the slide from Lucian Goian misses the player completely. The resulting free was weak and Chennaiyin can sigh relief.
The referee meanwhile shows Germanpreet the first yellow card of the match.
Off the bar!
5' - Chennaiyin FC’s Nerijus Valskis with a golden chance to give this team off to a flier, and get level with Roy Krishna on the golden boot charts. But his shot from the edge of the box hits the cross bar. Arindam Bhattacharja did not have a chance.
First attack!
3' - Chennaiyin FC on the attack in the very first move of the match. Prabir Das is on the line and he heads it away for ATK.
Pritam Kotal, in the following back and forth since the initial attack, cleans the CFC players with a slide in mid-field.
KICK-OFF! And we are away at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Goa. Chennaiyin FC and ATK clash in for a historic third title in their first meeting in an ISL final.
Both the teams haven’t lost when they have played an ISL final.
ATK won in season 1 and 3, while Chennaiyin FC won in season 2 and 4!
