Mendoza's goal disallowed there. Ruled offside. One has to wonder why the NorthEast goalkeeper came out though.

CLOSE! Dadzie had a free header on the Seityasen's cross but fails to hit the target.

Elano tries to play Thoi but nothing from it.

Second half kicks off!

Half Time: Chennaiyin FC 1-1 NorthEast United FC

SAVE! Mendoza drills it from the edge of the box. Great looking save by Rehenesh.

GOAL! NorthEast equalise just before half time here. The cross finds Kamara's head but saved by the Chennaiyin goalkeeper but Kamara slots it home on the rebound. 1-1.

Seityasen shoots it from far, just over. That was close.

GOAL! Brilliant work by Elano there to put Chennai ahead. Brilliant finish.

The ball bounces around the edge of the penalty area, and Elano volleys the ball into the bottom corner. #CHE #LetsFootball #CHEvNEU

The rain is subsiding now. Hope to start again soon.

It's raining cats and dogs here and the play is suspended due to lightning.

Zakeer goes into the referee's book now.

Javier López picks up the first yellow of the evening for a foul on Mendoza.

Great through ball by Rehenesh there but nothing from it.

Clash of the heads between Balwant and Reegan as both players go for the ball. The former is bleeding and the game is halted. Hope nothing's serious.

It's raining really heavily here right now.

Kick Off! Mendoza starts the proceedings but ably cleared by the NorthEast defense.

Last time these two sides met, NorthEast United were victorious with a 2-0 scoreline. What will it be tonight?

With three changes in the team, here is our starting XI for today's match! #NEUFC #8States1United #HeroISL #CHEvNEU pic.twitter.com/5cfNtulcyj
