All that controversy should not take away from what was a fine second half display from Chennai City forward Jean Joachim.

He unleashed a number of good efforts towards goal which required the intervention of Bagan goalkeeper Shilton Paul and the rest of their defence to keep out.

He tested Paul in the 65th minute with a powerful, dipping effort from midfield. It initially looked to be going well high, but dipped late and Paul was beaten. It just kissed the bar though on it's way and went out, fortunately for Bagan. In the 75th he attempted another half-volleyed attempt which Paul saved and once again in the 80th minute, this time Paul producing a fantastic save diving to his left.

He had another looping bicycle kick cleared off the line by the Bagan defence with Paul well beaten. A fantastic showing from Joachim that could have gotten Chennai City the win if not for some fantastic goalkeeping from Paul.
