The Chennaiyin FC U-13s will now face FC Madras U-13s in their final Chennai Zone fixture on Sunday, April 21, looking to beat the latter to the top spot.
There were no changes to the Chennaiyin FC U-13 side from the previous game. Chennaiyin FC got off to a whirlwind start, making it 2-0 within the opening quarter of an hour. Mohamed Irfan scored both goals, the first of which was a brilliant curling left-footed free-kick into the top corner. The second followed five minutes later, as Irfan made a late run into the box from midfield and passed it into the bottom corner.
Buoyed by the start, Chennaiyin FC continued to dominate and soon made it 3-0 courtesy Srinith K., who headed home from an Ajay Kumar M. corner. RVSS then had a chance to pull one back from the penalty spot after Nagulan’s handball in the box. However, their striker missed from the spot, sending it wide.
3-0 soon became 4-0 to Chennaiyin FC, with the Srinith this time around returning the favour to Ajay, finding the latter in the box to apply the finish. Chennaiyin FC went into the break 4-0 to the good.
It was more of the same from Chennaiyin FC after the break, as Srinith completed his brace to make it 5-0. Substitute Kannan joined the party soon after, scoring two outstanding solo goals as Chennaiyin FC went 7-0 ahead. And in the closing stages, Rishibarath N. caught the RVSS defence off-guard with an unexpected run into the box, adding the gloss to make it 8-0 to Chennaiyin FC.
