Chennaiyin FC’s Under-18 boys team played out a 1-1 draw with Ozone Football Academy in an Under-18 Youth League match at the FSV Arena here today. After three wins on the trot, Chennaiyin FC were held for the first time this season as Syed Suhail Pasha scored for them early in the first half.
Chennaiyin FC came into this tie on the back of a 2-1 win against Chennai City FC last time out, still smarting from having gone down to 9-men in that match. Playing an opposition from Bengaluru for the first time in this season’s U-18 Youth League, Chennaiyin FC got off to the perfect start with Syed Suhail Pasha opening the scoring in the 8th minute. Suhail won the ball back in the Ozone Football Academy half and carried it into the box before slotting it into the bottom corner.
Ozone Football Academy tried to find a way back into the match, but to no avail as the first half ended 1-0 to the visiting Chennaiyin FC.
In the second period, Ozone Football Academy grew into the game and eventually equalized in the 82nd minute courtesy a solo strike from Pavan S.
The draw takes Chennaiyin FC to 10 points from their four games so far in the U-18 Youth League. They’ll be aiming for a return to winning ways when they take on Bengaluru FC in an away fixture on Tuesday, January 23.
Result
Chennaiyin FC 1-1 Ozone Football Academy
