Indian Super Cup 2018: Chennaiyin FC vs Aizawl FC - Talking Points

#4 Ionescu strikes quickly into the extra time but Chennaiyin FC come back again

Both the sides went neck to neck throughout the match

Aizawl FC began the first half of the extra time with a bang as they went into the lead inside the first minute with a swift move from the kick-off.

It was the Romanian midfielder Andrei Ionescu again who was on target as he dribbled past four Chennaiyin players after receiving the ball. He slotted his finish over the rushing Karanjit Singh lifting the ball just enough to beat the keeper.

Chennaiyin FC were hit with an unexpected counter by the Aizawl side early in the extra time but they did not lose hope and kept on pressing. They were rewarded in the second half of the extra time period when a low hard shot from central defender Dhanachandra Singh got past everyone and made it 2-2 paving the way for a penalty shootout.
