FATORDA: Chennaiyin FC beat NorthEast United FC 2-1 in the 2021-22 Hero Indian Super League (ISL) match at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda, Goa on Monday.
Lallianzuala Chhangte (41') broke the deadlock with a powerful shot from a defensive error but VP Suhair (50') made the most of the Chennaiyin goalkeeper being out of position to equalise. Chennaiyin FC captain Anirudh Thapa (74') sealed the deal with a fine strike.
Federico Gallego's return to the starting XI for the first time this season headlined team news even before the first whistle.
Mathias Coureur too came back into Khalid Jamil's team. Meanwhile, Narayan Das had a new role at center-back for Chennaiyin as Jerry Lalrinzuala assumed his position at left-back. IANS
