Jamshedpur 1-2 Chennaiyin: Isma Goncalves, Anirudh Thapa ensure winning start

Nerijus Valskis' header wasn't enough for Jamshedpur to beat Chennaiyin...

Chennaiyin put on a solid all-round performance to get off to a winning start in the 2020-21 Indian Super League campaign.

Csaba Laszlo's team beat former Chennaiyin manager Owen Coyle's Jamshedpur 2-1 at the Tilak Maidan on Tuesday. First-half goals from Anirudh Thapa (1') and Isma Goncalves (26') were enough for the two-time champions to bag the win. Nerijus Valskis (37') opened his account for the season but was unable to bring his team back into the game.

Chennaiyin got off to a brilliant start as Anirudh Thapa opened the scoring seconds after the kick-off.
