Chennai City FC is doing a wonderful job in producing young Indian players. Last season, they produced Michael Soosairaj, inarguably India's one of the best midfielders. This season with Akbar Nawaz at the helm and the Indian players gelling with the foreign counterparts more efficiently, we might see a handful of them stamping their mark.

Today, Edwin Vanspaul, Charles Anadraj, Romario Jesuraj, Pravitto Raju, and substitute Ameerudeen Mohaideen gave their best shot with the first name even bagging the Hero of the Match.

The East Bengal players had heavily marked the foreigners, giving them little space to breathe. However, that left the Indian players enough space and they made them repent.

Tamil Nadu has been neglected in the Indian football scene for a long time. This victory for Chennai City FC gives the state a ray of hope.
