#4 Suber Sub Roby Norales scores crucial opener
Trending
Up until the 75th minute, there was almost pin drop silence at Sree Kanteerava Stadium for a good 15 minutes. The fans were anxious and understandably so. Their side were supremely dominant yet couldn’t unlock Chennai’s defence. Up stepped Roby Norales.
The Honduran came on as a substitute at the hour mark and he repaid the coach’s faith in style. From a free kick, the resulting loose ball bounced off his head and a couple more players before it travelled right back into his path.
He was ready and expertly fired the ball from inside the box as Albert Roca could finally breathe easy. Buoyed by the breakthrough, CK Vineeth then added another two minutes later. Udanta whipped in a delightful cross from the right wing and the Keralite’s first-time side-footed effort zipped past keeper, Karanjit.
