Even though the first half had more of wrestling than swift football, we had a few instances when both the defences were split wide open. Chennaiyin had the better chances, but Mumbai also missed a few chances in the first half.

Jamie Gavilan showed a piece of magic in the 38th minute when he snatched the ball form under Rosario’s nose and ran inside the box, but was brought down by Goian, only to see the ball fall for Mihelic, who hit the post from close range.

Balwant also had a good chance from close quarters in the first half but saw his shot saved by Pawan Kumar.
