Against a solid Chennaiyin outfit, NorthEast United put in their best performance of the season so far and they had to wait for more than 45 days for it. The home side looked far more disciplined and lethal when compared to their previous matches.

It was a sight to behold when Seiminlen Doungel scored his second of the night with a deft finish, giving NorthEast a 2-0 lead, less than a minute into the second half. It definitely took the visitors by surprise who looked stunned with what had just transpired.

The odds are still heavily stacked against NEUFC. Their chances of qualifying for the final four is slim but it's mathematically very much possible. A string of good results could possibly magically overturn what was, until today, an extremely poor season. Rome wasn't built in a day but if there is one man who can build it in two months, it's Avram Grant. He has the experience and the resume to do so.
