Goa players celebrate after Corominas' goal

#5 Right flank gave much more trouble to Chennaiyin's defence

Jackichand Singh is one of the pivotal members in FC Goa and he proved the reason for it by putting in an excellent shift against Chennaiyin FC. The Indian International linked up with Seriton Fernandes, Edu Bedia, and Ferran Corominas to continuously give headaches to the Blues' defence.

The left side of Chennaiyin's flank does not have much experience as Isaac Vanmalsawma and Tondonba Singh were struggling to contain the FC Goa's attack. Seriton and Jackichand were running through that channel for fun and did the damage throughout the game.

The first goal came when Eli Sabia and Tondonba Singh went to sleep which helped Jackichand Singh to head the ball to Corominas who found the back of the net. There were several instances where they could have done better, but the pace of FC Goa attackers was too hard to handle.
