Title number 3 for ATK FC!
A brilliant display by ATK FC to win their third ISL title! They are over the moon at the moment and rightly so. They arguably have been the best team this season and their performance tonight shows. ATK entered the second half with a one-goal lead and then scored early in the second segment. Chennaiyin FC attacked a lot more but initially failed to take their chances. However, in the 69th minute, the Marina Machans did pull one back through Nerijus Valskis. They came close on a few occasions after that but Arindam Bhattacharja was always there to save the day for the Kolkata-based club. With minutes to go, they sealed the deal as Javier Hernandez scored in stoppage time.
90'
Full time!
Peep, peep, peep, there goes the full-time whistle and it is celebration time for ATK FC as they are the winners of this year's ISL. Their third title and they have scored three to seal it.
90'
GOALLL!!!
That is surely it, it has to be, right? Third goal for ATK FC, they now have gone two goals up with not a lot of time left. Javier Hernandez is set through on goal by Pronay Halder. He goes past the keeper, still has a defender with him but he dribbles past him and then calmly slots it into the back of the net. He gets a yellow card as he took his jersey off in celebration but he won't care.

76'
Substitution
Andre Schembri has played his part in the Final and now he is done for the evening. He comes off as Dragos Firtulescu comes in his place and he will now try to help Chennaiyin FC find the equalizer. The question is can he help them do that?

Big chance!
ATK FC had a chance to go 3-1 up here. A cross into the box from the left is cleared out but only as far as Armando Sosa Pena. He strikes it hard from outside the box but it goes over.
70'
Arindam Bhattacharja to the rescue...again!
Arindam Bhattacharja does really well to keep ATK FC's slender lead intact. Eli Sabia whips in a very good cross from the right and it finds the leaping Nerijus Valskis who heads it well but Arindam Bhattacharja gets down to his right and denies Nerijus Valskis his second and the Super Machans the equalizer.
69'
GOALLL!!!
Chennaiyin FC are back in it! They are just one goal away from equalizing here. A cross into the box from the right, brushes the head of Pritam Kotal. It falls behind to Jerry Lalrinzuala. He passes it to Nerijus Valskis who smashes it on the volley and into the net. Game on here! Still a lot of time left.

Saved!
End-to-end stuff! ATK FC break on the counter! Prabir Das gets the ball outside the box on the right. He looks to sneak it in through the near post but Vishal Kaith pushes it out for a corner. Nothing from the set-piece.

Yellow card
Naughty from Regin Michael. He looks to win the ball but has his foot way high and ends up knocking Edwin Vanspaul. The referee sees the malice in the foul and dishes out a yellow card. Regin Michael is lucky as that could have easily been a red.

Close!
Chennaiyin FC start well here! Nerijus Valskis receives a pass just outside the box. He makes a delicate touch and tries to set Andre Schembri free in the box. The keeper though is off his line quickly and gets to it first. Good alertness.
46'
Second essay!
The teams make their way out of for the second half of the final! Done and dusted with the countdown and it is Chennaiyin FC who will get us underway. Here we go...
ATK FC with a slender lead!
ATK FC enter the break with one hand on the trophy. Chennaiyin FC started the first half on the front foot and looked more threatening from the get-go but it was ATK FC who broke the deadlock. Roy Krishna, who has been the star of the season for the side from Bengal, turned provider as Javier Hernandez slotted home. Things went from bad to worse for the Super Machans as they lost Germanpreet Singh to an injury. They kept on attacking but Arindam Bhattacharja was in no mood to let the ball go past him. ATK FC too have had a major blow due to injury as they lost Roy Krishna. ATK FC have managed to see the rest of the time and enter the break with the lead. Chennaiyin FC will need to find a way to get past Arindam Bhattacharja if they are to get back in this game. Will they be able to do it?
45'
Half time
The referee blows his whistle and brings an end to the first half of the Final.

Massive blow
Another injury and this time it is for ATK FC. Their star-man, their icon, their superhero of the season, Roy Krishna cannot carry on. He is distraught and in tears as he makes way for Armando Sosa Pena.
35'
ATK FC with a slender lead!
ATK FC lead the game but are on the back foot. Chennaiyin FC are unable to get past Arindam Bhattacharja. Can they somehow find a master key and equalize before the break?
31'
Superman Arindam to the rescue!
Arindam Bhattacharja is having a blinder so far in between the sticks for ATK FC and Chennaiyin FC cannot find a way past him. Rafael Crivellaro takes the free kick and sends a dangerous ball inside the box. Andre Schembri jumps high and heads it on target but Arindam Bhattacharja flies to his right and denies Chennaiyin FC the equalizer.
30'
Free kick in a dangerous position
Chennaiyin FC have a chance to equalize with this set-piece. Prabir Das handles the ball outside the box and awards a free kick to the Super Machans.
27'
Straight to the keeper
Andre Schembri runs with the ball from the right and gets inside the box. He cuts it back to Nerijus Valskis but his shot is too straight to Arindam Bhattacharja. He cannot hold onto it but Pritam Kotal is there to clear it.
23'
Barrage of blocks!
A barrage of blocks from Chennaiyin FC's players sees them still be in this game. Roy Krishna runs with the ball from the right and gets inside the box. He beats his defender but Vishal Kaith comes out and saves it with his chest, the ball deflects off one of his defenders and falls in the way of Javier Hernandez, who charges and hits his shot on goal. Laldinliana Renthlei, though makes a vital goal-line clearance, the ball once again deflects to Javier Hernandez but this time Lucian Goian clears it off the goal-line.
22'
Substitution
A forced change and this is really sad news for Germanpreet Singh. He cannot take any further part in the Final and he makes way for Edwin Vanspaul.

Bad to worse for Super Machans?
Germanpreet Singh is down on the turf and it looks like he is having an issue with one of his ankles. The physios are out and this looks like a bad news for Chennaiyin FC as they are already trailing.
19'
Good tackle!
Chennaiyin FC break on the counter! The ball is passed to Rafael Crivellaro on the right. He makes a run towards the box but Prabir Das slides in and kicks it out of play.
15'
Wayward cross
Laldinliana Renthlei gets the ball on the right and he tries to whip in a cross inside the box but he cannot put in a decent one and his effort is directly out of play. Chennaiyin FC will need to put in better ball than that if they are to trouble Arindam Bhattacharja.
10'
GOALLL!!!
The first blood has been drawn in the final and it is ATK FC who have taken the lead. John Johnson plays an aerial ball on the right flank to find Roy Krishna. The Fijian takes a touch and waits for someone to make the run inside the box. It is Javier Hernandez who does that and Krishna plays a good ball but it bounces just in front of Javier Hernandez. He gets in a very good shape and hits a perfect volley on the top right. Vishal Kaith jumps but he cannot get anything on it. The side from Bengal takes the lead against the run of play and Chennaiyin FC have a big task to get back in this game now.

The Final Showdown!
We have reached the grand finale of the Indian Super League 2019-20 and it is going to be played between two champion sides - ATK FC and Chennaiyin FC. The stage is set at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Goa and it's a bit of a shame that this pulsating match will have no audience due to the ongoing pandemic - COVID-19. Anyway, that is something that we cannot control and all we can do is to concentrate on the game we have on the plate. Two outstanding teams, known for playing the attacking game will be locking horns and hence we are expecting a thrilling culmination to this edition. The prospect of having the likes of Lallianzuala Chhangte, Rafael Crivellaro, Andre Schembri, Nerijus Valskis facing off against Edu Garcia, Michael Soosairaj, David Williams, Roy Krishna makes it a fascinating affair. The defense of both units has done a brilliant job this season but they will be under severe pressure due to the attacking firepower involved in this encounter. Who will win the battle of wits - Owen Coyle or Antonio Habas?
