Chennai started the game slowly, with Jamshedpur enjoying most of the ball in the opening minutes. While last season Chennai managed to keep out danger when they had slow starts and eked out late winners, on Sunday night, their defence leaked two goals in quick succession from Spaniards Pablo Morgado and Carlos Calvo, leaving them trailing 2-0 in less than half an hour.

The Chennai coach did tag the penalty call for the latter’s goal “debatable” in the post-match press conference, but it’s on the Chennai backline to allow Sumeet Passi, whom Jerry Lalrinzuala brought down for the penalty, to be in a promising position.

If Chennai are to do well in the continental competition, they need to avoid conceding goals so early in the game as they don't seem to possess the mental strength required to bounce back after conceding an early goal or two.
