Points shared but a superb game
Wow! What an unbelievable second half. The first half saw no goals but both the sides came all gun blazing in the final one. Nerijus Valskis opened the floodgates and found the back of the net in the 51st minute. However, the home side's lead could not last long as Xisco Hernandez levelled things just 4 minutes later. Both the sides then attacked each other's end and eventually, Valskis once again put the ball inside the net to take the lead. Their lead once again did not last long as Aridane Santana drilled one into the net to level things up. Both the sides will eventually share points which can be termed as the perfect result as none of them deserved to lose after the kind of game they played.

Final 45
Time for the final half of the game. Chennaiyin FC will get us underway for this one. A couple of substition at the start of this half, one each for both the sides. Germanpreet Singh comes on for Masih Saighani for the hosts while Bikramjit Singh replaces Vinit Rai for the visitors.
Goalless half!
The visitors started attacking from the start but could not find the final touch to score. They had an excellent chance but Vishal Kaith stood in between during the 8th minute of the game. Chennaiyin FC have not managed to keep the ball in possession which meant that they could not attack the opposition half much. Odisha FC almost scored one during the injury time but Jerry Mawihmingthanga could not put the ball in the back of the net and we eventually go to break with the scoreline reading 0-0. Interesting to see what strategy both the sides return for the second half.

Excellent play from the hosts. Thoi Singh has the ball on the right flank. He goes past a defender and looks to find a teammate but Diawandou Diagne heads it away. The ball falls to Edwin Vanspaul who looks to smash the ball inside the net but his attempt it way over and wide too.

Set piece at the edge of the box on the left
Chance for the hosts as they have a free kick just at the edge of the box. Thoi Singh's attempt to make a cross catches the hand of Vinit Rai and the umpire gives a free kick. Not a good free kick from Anirudh Thapa as it fails to go past the wall.

Match day!
Game 27 sees Chennaiyin FC take on Odisha FC. The hosts will be looking for another three points, especially after their climatic win in the last game. Also, they are just above the team at the bottom so they would be looking to string a series of wins. Playing at home, they will be confident heading into the fixture and would want the home team to be right behind them. Their goal-draught ended in the last game and they would hope that was just the start of something good. Another excellent performance from their attackers is what they will be hoping for. Their backline also looked solid and another tough performance is what they would like. A win here will see them go above the 6th place Odisha FC who are on a three-game unbeaten streak. After losing their first two games, they are now starting to get into their own. Their defense seems solid as they have kept two clean sheets in a row. They're lacking though in the final third of the game and that is where they need to make it count if they are to win more games. A good game awaits.
