Chennaiyin started with early intent, with players like Vignesh D and Bemammer attempting shots from distance. The team’s attacking play, led by Martin, showed promise, but they struggled to convert chances. Despite their efforts, Inter Kashi took the lead with Alfred Planas scoring twice in the second half, putting Chennaiyin on the back foot.
In the second half, Inter Kashi dominated early on, scoring two quick goals. Chennaiyin fought back, with Farukh testing the goalkeeper, but they couldn’t find a breakthrough. Despite late efforts and a goal by Chima in stoppage time, Chennaiyin couldn’t overturn the deficit. The Marina Machans will aim to bounce back in their upcoming match against East Bengal.
