Hans Mulder and Mehrajuddin Wadoo scored first half goals.
Chennaiyin FC heaped misery again on FC Goa by handing them their third successive defeat in the Hero Indian Super League at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Chennai, on Thursday. Chennaiyin had won last year’s final in dramatic fashion after scoring two late goals in Goa and when they met again on Thursday, the defending champions needed no such late drama after scoring twice in the first half for a 2-0 victory at home. The victory helped Chennaiyin FC accumulate four points from three matches and leapfrog mid-table while FC Goa are placed at the bottom of the pool without any point from three matches. FC Goa is the only team without a point in the league. Chennaiyin FC manager Marco Materazzi had told his boys that he wouldn’t be around to guide them next season if they do not improve and qualify for the semi-finals. The message, however, was lost when the match kicked off as Chennaiyin FC were tentative and made mistakes in defence. In the second minute itself, FC Goa could have gone ahead when Fulganco Cardozo’s long ball forward should have been easy collection for goalkeeper Karanjit Singh but the goalkeeper instead tried to control the ball with his feet and gave it away to Reinaldo Oliveira. The Brazilian, however, could not stay on his feet and did not get anything for his fall inside the danger zone.Mulder StrikeHans Mulder's unerring strike has given @ChennaiyinFC the early lead! #CHEvGOA #LetsFootball pic.twitter.com/pVHqqvLKOs
