ANIRUDH THAPA SCORES FOR CHENNAIYIN
67' | GOAL! Anirudh Thapa gets an easy tap-in. Reagan Singh sends a ball in the middle and Kattimani makes a horrible error as instead of catching the ball, he kicks it straight at Thapa, who simply taps it home. What a gift! Chennaiyin wanted to get out of the jail Hyderabad had put them into and it was the opposition's goalkeeper that gave them the key!
Chennaiyin FC 1-2 Hyderabad FC

JOEL CHIANESE SCORES 1ST ISL GOAL
50' | GOAL! Joel Chianese gets a gift of a goal. Aridane with a half-hearted ball up for Chianese but it's a horrible miscommunication between Eli Sabia and Vishal Kaith. Kaith comes way off his line to collect the ball but Sabia looks to clear the ball with Chianese on his back and his attempted clearance hits Chianese who rolls the ball into the back of the net.
Chennaiyin FC 0-1 Hyderabad FC

SECOND HALF KICKS-OFF
The second half is underway at the GMC Stadium in Bambolim. The scoreline is level at 0-0 but both teams, especially Hyderabad FC, have had plenty of chances to go ahead.
Chennaiyin FC 0-0 Hyderabad FC
Half-time Stats
Chennaiyin FC have a bit more possession than Hyderabad but the latter's pace has troubled the Chennaiyin defence immensely. Both sides have got eight shots but Hyderabad have four on target while Chennaiyin have two.
HALF TIME
What a brilliant half of football from Hyderabad FC. Even though Chennaiyin FC had a couple of chances of their own, Hyderabad overall dominated their opponents and it is only down to a miracle and the misses from Joel Chianese that the scoreline is level. Chianese had at least three big chances to find the back of the net but he couldn't convert any. Vishal Kaith came up with a brilliant double save in the 43rd minute to deny Hyderabad close to half time.
Chennaiyin FC 0-0 Hyderabad FC
HALF-TIME in Bambolim. A half full of chances that we failed to capitalize on. Need a goal soon!#CFCHFC #LetsFootball #HarKadamNayaDum #HydKeHainHum #HyderabadFC 🟡⚫ pic.twitter.com/nINl5KTVYk

KAITH DOUBLE SAVE
43' | Vishal Kaith with two brilliant saves! Asish Rai goes for goal from the right and Kaith gets his hands to it but it falls straight for Chianese and Kaith makes a point-blank save from him. Then Asish Rai takes another shot from afar and it hits the crossbar. What an escape for Chennaiyin FC!
Chennaiyin FC 0-0 Hyderabad FC
37' | Excellent work from Yasir to pass the ball to Chianese in the box, who is held off well by Jerry, but the ball eventually reaches Aridane, who heads it just over.

Chianese Miss
23' | Yasir works the ball extremely well and goes for goal. Kaith spills an easy collect and it bounces out for Chianese, who has an open goal but his shot takes a touch off Kaith and goes out for a corner. What a chance!
Chennaiyin FC 0-0 Hyderabad FC
20' | Chennaiyin FC work around the ball extremely well, with Sylvestr, Jerry, Memo, Thapa, Chhangte and Reagan all involved. Reagan passes the ball to Thapa on the right, who passes into the middle for Sylvestr but the ball has too much pace and Sylvestr gets the contact but it goes way over.
Chennaiyin FC 0-0 Hyderabad FC
14' | Brilliant move from Hyderabad once again! It has been far too easy for Hyderabad to get into the box. Chianese tries to pass in the middle but it takes a deflection off Jerry into Kaith's hands.

Wide from Odei

9' | Good move from Chennaiyin FC! And a good ball in the middle that Sylvestr flicks across the goal but it misses the Chennaiyin man. On the counter, Souvik runs up and passes to Chianese, who rus forward in the middle with Souvik and Aridane on either side but he takes too much time and had the ball taken away.
Chennaiyin FC 0-0 Hyderabad FC
KICK-OFF
Hyderabad FC get us underway at the GMC Stadium and immediately, they have a huge chance. Akash Mishra with a sweet ball for Aridane who flicks it with his head towards Joel Chianese towards the right, who runs up with the ball but Vishal Kaith makes the big save.
Chennaiyin FC 0-0 Hyderabad FC
Chennaiyin FC are going to be missing Rafael Crivellaro, who got injured in their previous game. Anirudh Thapa will be crucial for them against Hyderabad FC and will be responsible for creating chances.
Jakub Sylvestr has been very involved in all the forward play that Chennaiyin FC has had but his finishing has been his problem. Can he tackle it today?

Anirudh Thapa gets Chennaiyin FC back into the game in the 67th minute with an easy tap-in. Kaith makes a save but Hyderabad work the ball back into the dangerous area and as it falls for Halicharan Narzary, he slots it home beautifully. A horrible miscommunication between Eli Sabia and Vishal Kaith and Joel Chianese benefits from it as the ball rolls into the net in the 50th minute. Vishal Kaith with a stunning double save to deny Asish Rai and Joel Chianese keeps Chennaiyin level at 0-0 with Hyderabad.

ISL 2020-21 FULL COVERAGE | ISL 2020-21 SCHEDULE | ISL 2020-21 POINTS TABLE
Chennaiyin FC are unbeaten in their last four games with three draws and a win while Hyderabad FC have lost their last three matches. Both Chennaiyin and Hyderabad have shown inconsistency where they have displayed good football but have been guilty of making mistakes at crucial junctures, which have lost them points. Chennaiyin have been inconsistent throughout while Hyderabad have seen a recent slump.
Poor finishing has cost CFC in the games so far and they have given away goals from set-piece situations which would not please the coach Csaba Laszlo as team has two wins, two losses and four draws so far. "We are working on it. We conceded all together seven goals, five from set-pieces. The last game was a clean-sheet and we have to continue in this way. We have good players who can defend," Laszlo said at the press meet ahead of Monday's game.
Up against an attack-minded CFC, the Hyderabad line-up, especially the defence would be facing a huge challenge. The CFC coach Laszlo isn't taking Hyderabad FC lightly and said they had been playing really well, adding "every team must be careful to play against them."
