VASCO: Odisha FC and Chennaiyin FC had to win this game in order to keep their semi-final hopes alive, but shared the spoils after playing out a 2-2 draw in the Indian Super League (ISL) at the Tilak Maidan Stadium, here on Wednesday. The win was important for both the teams, but a stalemate means while they are mathematically still not out, their chances of making the top-four cut are all but over.
Rahim Ali (2nd) opened the scoring for Chennaiyin before Javi Hernandez (18th) pulled one back for Odisha for Jonathas Cristian (51st) to help them go in front in the second half. But Nerijus Valskis found the back of the net for Chennaiyin to ensure their rivals don't get all three points.
Chennaiyin remained in eighth place with 20 points from 17 matches while Odisha stayed in the seventh spot having 22 points from 17 matches. IANS
