The Marina Machans conceded an early goal in the 37th minute, but they failed to score a goal right throughout the game as Bengaluru FC made one save. 

Chennaiyin are out of the playoff race and with two games left in the season they will look to end the season on a high and better the record. The pressure is all on Northeast United at the moment where they are fighting for the 6th spot alongside Odisha FC. 

Wilmar Jordan with 10 goals including a brace is the top goal scorer for Chennaiyin, while Nigerian Daniel Chima Chukwu has scored 4 goals. These two players are the players to watch out for against a shaky Northeast United defense which has struggled in recent games.
