TEAMS PREVIEW

Chennaiyin FC Preview

It was deja vu for Chennaiyin side as the Marina Machans found themselves in a familiar and painful script, squandering a 2-0 lead to settle for a 2-2 draw once again. Just like their clash with Odisha, Chennaiyin conceded a heartbreaking equalizer, but this time the blow was even more crushing, coming in the dying moments of injury time.

Coach Owen Coyle couldn't hide his frustration as his team once again faltered in the dying moments, letting a crucial win slip through their fingers.“We were careless—it’s as simple as that,” Coyle admitted. “It came down to individual mistakes. We should’ve cleared our lines, but the ball came back into the box. With so many young players, they need to grasp the importance of game management—how to see the game through.”

ATK Mohun Bagan Preview

The Mariners played a near-perfect game against Jamshedpur, leaving everything on the field, yet only came away with a draw. While the players might be puzzled, it's the fans who'll be left scratching their heads, wondering how it all slipped away. In a game where the Mariners controlled 57% possession and had all the shots, Jamshedpur's only strike came from an unlikely source—a centre-back who weaved through the entire Bagan half, dodging tackles, and coolly slotted it home from inside the box. 

They could either chalk it up as a rare blip or blame the defenders for being too casual against a centre-back. Despite the bizarre result, Mohun Bagan remain firmly in control at the top, six points ahead of second-placed Bengaluru FC and will back themselves to beat a struggling Chennaiyin FC.
