ISL 2024-25: Cummings’ Late Goal Helps Mohun Bagan SG Overcome Spirited Chennaiyin FC
The first half was an absolutely engaging affair with Marina Machans taking the game to the opposition. Ahead of the encounter, head coach Owen Coyle had warned that his team has what it takes to win important clashes in big arenas.
They walked the talk with the duo of Lalrinliana Hnamte and Ryan Edwards producing impressive goal-scoring opportunities in the 25th and 30th minutes of the game respectively. After an industrious passage of play, Hnamte took things upon him to try his luck from distance but fell short since his effort was blocked by a well-organised Mariners’ backline. Five minutes later, Edwards attempted a vicious header from the centre of the box through a delivery by Pachuau Laldinpuia. The latter had shown impeccable awareness to send a headed pass in Edwards’ path, but the defender’s effort was kept at bay.
