Goodbye
Alright then, that's all from us. Join us on Thursday as Mumbai City FC host Odisha FC. The match starts at 1930 IST.
Awards
ATK win the Club Award for emerging out as the victorious team. Michael Soosairaj is the Limitless Player of the Match and Javier Hernandez bags the Winning Pass of the Match Award. Lallianzuala Chhangte gets the ISL Emerging Player of the Match Award while David Williams is declared as the Hero of the Match.
ATK excel
ATK go to the top of the table with this away win. A goal and a clean sheet take them to the summit. The clean sheet was courtesy of Chennaiyin FC's profligacy in front of goal. After David Williams gave ATK the lead in the 48th minute, the second half was littered with chances for Chennaiyin FC. The best one fell to substitute Andre Schembri, who could only fire wide. This was the case with all his teammates as well. The only positive the hosts could take from this match will be Lucian Goian's defensive mettle. The visitors were clinical for at least scoring a goal from their lot of chances but they were put under the cosh by Chennaiyin FC. The goalless streak for the Super Machans now stands at 6 matches, extending from last season. So, the deserving team is on top of the table. Habas on his return to ATK as a manager is making a bold statement.

Free kick for Chennaiyin FC comes to nothing
Carl McHugh fouls at the 20 yards away from the ATK goal. Edwin Vanspaul picks up the stray ball in his own half and races forward with purpose and Carl McHugh brings him down. There is no booking. Anirudh Thapa takes the resulting free kick short. Lallianzuala Chhangte gets the ball at the edge of the area but there are ATK bodies in the way that block it.
38'
Offside! Shouldn't have been
Michael Soosairaj finds David Williams on the left flanks, he cuts in and tries to find Javier Hernandez with an early through ball. It did spit the defence and find its target but Javier Hernandez was flagged off side. Replays showed that ATK were unlucky there.
32'
Superb block!
Lucian Goian comes to the rescue! That was travelling. David Williams, on the left side of the box, cuts it back to Michael Soosairaj at the edge of the box. Soosairaj shoots powerfully with his right leg. It is on target and quick. Lucian Goian gets himself in the way and heads the ball over the crossbar.

End-to-end football
Lots happening there. Michael Soosairaj picks up the ball in midfield in Chennaiyin FC's half. He passes it to David Williams in the box, who passes it back to the on-rushing Soosairaj. He shoots immediately and Lucian Goian puts in a block. From the clearance, Lallianzuala Chhangte is played in on the left side. He rushes and tries to cross the ball inside the box but Agustin Iniguez averts the danger.
22'
Nervy moment
That could have been the howler of the season! Lucian Goian plays a back pass to Vishal Kaith, the keeper. Kaith tries to pass the ball to his right but he gets a very faint touch on it. The ball moves a distance away from him but he is able to redeem himself.
20'
A very entertaining game!
Both sides are fashioning chances, it is end-to-end football and both teams are going at it.
14'
Penalty appeal! Not given
A corner from the right side this time. He takes it short. Javier Hernandez plays a one-two with Roy Krishna and the ball is back towards Roy Krishna. Valskis marking him trips him over but the referee says nothing doing. Play goes on.
12'
ATK go close
Javier Hernandez delivers a perfect ball from the corner, it goes over Pritam Kotal and Roy Krishna can only deflect it to the keeper, who doesn't collect cleanly. The chance comes to nothing.
9'
Another chance for Chennaiyin FC!
Lucian Goian plays a peach for a cross field ball to find Rafael Crivellaro on the left flank. He charges into the box and hits a shot across the face of the goal. Nerijus Valskis in the center of the box, can't sort his feet out in time. He gets a slightest of touches on the ball but it is wide of the post. Will Chennaiyin FC rue this?
6'
ATK wasteful from a corner
Javier Hernandez swings a loopy cross at the far post. He is unable to find a teammate and Dragos Firtulescu clears the ball away.
3'

Clash of the yesteryear champions!
Tonight's clash sees two teams, who have been very successful in the ISL, Chennaiyin FC and ATK, face-off against each other. The hosts are yet to win a game this season as they have drawn one and lost one. The visitors, on the other hand, started their campaign with a loss but head into this game after thumping newcomers Hyderabad FC 5-0. They have scored 6 goals so far in the two games played which means their attackers are doing well. On the contrary, the hosts have struggled in that area as they are yet to score their opening goal this season. They need to score if they are to have any chance of winning the game. Chennai took more of a defensive approach, which did show in the last game, where they kept a clean sheet. However, tonight they need to be good in both the departments as ATK are a good attacking side and have a good defensive unit as well. The visitors are probably favorites if you judge on recent form but Chennaiyin FC, playing in front of their home crowd, will want their fans to be right behind them and will be eager to break their goal-scoring drought. Will they do so? We will find out.
