Owen Coyle: I liked NorthEast United’s Ninthoiganba Meetei

Chennaiyin FC managed to earn a point against NorthEast United FC thanks to an injury time equalizer from substitute Lallianzuala Chhangte.

The visitors took the lead through Masih Saighani before NorthEast made it 1-1 through a Martin Chaves penalty which saw Tondonba Singh being given his marching orders. Chaves put the home side ahead before Chhangte netted late in the tie.

“In the first 15 minutes, the young lads coming into the game were a bit anxious. It took us 15 minutes to settle down and then once we were settled, we started to pass the ball on a difficult pitch.
