FC Goa edge Chennaiyin in seven-goal thriller

FC Goa beat Chennaiyin 4-3 to regain the top spot in the Indian Super League (ISL) on Thursday at the Marina Arena.

Ahmed Jahouh, Brandon Fernandes and Hugo Boumous scored in the first half to put Goa in the lead at the break. Chennaiyin ended up scoring three goals in the second half but the hosts edged the contest to come out victorious.

Chennaiyin starting XI had just one change from the last match as Masih Saighani replaced suspended Eli Sabia in central defence. Sergio Lobera, on the other hand, fielded an unchanged FC Goa side.
