#3 Newlywed Seiminlen Doungel scores hat-trick

What seemed like a dull game, came to life when Seiminlen Doungel scored an opportunistic goal, late in the first half, to give the Highlanders an unexpected lead. Cezario's zipping shot was parried away by Chennai's keeper but Doungel pounced on the loose ball and buried it into an open net. He then topped it off with two more superb finishes to score a sublime hat-trick, the first by an Indian this season.
