GOA: Chennaiyin FC finally managed to register a win after five games, with 2-1 victory over FC Goa in the Hero Indian Super League at Fatorda Stadium, Goa, on Saturday.

In a game that saw 39 shots at goal, Rahim Ali (53') scored the match-winner after Jorge Ortiz (9') cancelled out Rafael Crivellaro's (5') olympic-goal opener.

It was an easy win for the visitors who should have finished with a bigger goal margin, had it not for their poor finishing.

Brandon Fernandes returned to the side as Goa coach Juan Ferrando named three changes to the line-up that lost against ATK Mohun Bagan with Aiban Dohling and Jeorge Ortiz being the other two.

Following their 0-0 draw against NorthEast United, Coach Csaba Laszlo preferred to start with influential midfielder Anirudh Thapa and Rafael Crivellaro. And the duo troubled the FC Goa defence from the first whistle. Agencies
