ISL-4: Chennaiyin FC demolish NorthEast United FC in 3-0 win!

Former Indian Super League champions Chennaiyin FC got their first win of ISL-4 on Thursday night with a 3-0 win over NorthEast United FC at the Marina Arena in Chennai.

After some early action at both ends, Chennaiyin FC took the lead in the 11th minute when a Rafael Augusto shot was unluckily deflected by young Abdul Hakku into his own goal past goalkeeper T.P. Rehenesh and it was again Brazilian Rafael Augusto who caused problems for NorthEast United in the 24th minute when he scored Chennaiyin FC’s second on the night. The result stayed like this until the break.

In the 84th minute a Jaime Gavilan free-kick hit the woodwork and an alert Mohammed Rafi scored Chennaiyin FC’s third to seal the game as the hosts won 3-0 to go top of the ISL table.
