A terrific performance from Chennaiyin FC saw them take a commanding 4-1 lead after the first leg of their Indian Super League (ISL) play-off clash at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium in Chennai on Sunday.
After a barren first half, Chennaiyin sparkled to life with goals from Lucian Goian (54'), Anirudh Thapa (61'), Eli Sabia (77') and Lallianzuala Chhangte (79') saw them take a 4-0 lead before Saviour Gama (85') pulled a goal back for the Gaurs.
Chennaiyin, who qualified for the play-offs after finishing fourth, are now in the driving seat in the tie while table-toppers Goa have it all to do now in the second leg in Goa next Sunday.
