Chennai began the first half brightly and maintained possession in the midfield, which created openings, with Thapa dominating all around. The CFC wing-backs and wingers played high up the pitch, something that made the HFC players defend for most of the half.
CFC took the lead through a stunning goal from Thapa, after midfielder Sajal Bag played it long, spotting the former’s run inside the box.
Thapa then finished delicately by taking the shot off balance, stunning HFC custodian Lakshmikant Kattimani.
The second half saw Hyderabad making a comeback with the introduction of Ogbeche.

HFC took the lead in the 64th minute through the Ogobeche as a freekick from the right by Mohammed Yasir found the former inside, who slammed in a powerful header.
