Sunil Chhetri’s Goal Helps Bengaluru Win Against Chennaiyin

The Quint  

The second period started with a flurry of fouls, freekicks and yellow cards. Rafael Crivellaro, Suresh Wangjam and Reagan Singh went into the book early on while both teams wasted freekicks from good positions. Chhetri found the bottom right corner with an inch-perfect kick that went in despite Kaith going the right way. Laszlo responded to the goal by throwing on Fatkhullo Fatkhulloev and the Tajik nearly scored the equaliser, unleashing a volley off Jerry's cross only for Bengaluru goalkeeper Gurpreet Singh Sandhu to block it. Chennaiyin thought they had a penalty in the 69th minute after Crivellaro's header struck Kuruniyan's hand on the way out.
