Kalinga Cup: Chennaiyin FC Win 2-0 To Hasten Gokulam Kerala Exit
There was a clear lack of attacking verve from either side in the opening quarter of the game. For Gokulam this arose in part due to their inability to control the midfield, and also undoubtedly still reeling from being stung late on in their previous encounter. Chennaiyin for their part did little in the final third, half chances the order of the day.
The key difference came in the 25th minute, when Connor Shields expertly controlled an Ankit Mukherjee cross inside the Gokulam box, turning and then shooting into the far corner to give his side the lead. It was a moment created out of nothing, purely by Shields’ skill and ability inside the box. Gokulam did little to muster any resistance for the rest of the half as Chennaiyin saw it off with ease, to lead at the break.
