Chennai lift  ISl title
Published on: 

Forced to shift base to another venue due to floods in their home city, Chhenaiyin FC were on Sunday crowned the Indian Super league champions after they beat FC Goa 3-2 in a drama-filled summit clash in which three goals were scored in the last four minutes.

In a befitting grand finale of the ISl second season which saw 186 goals scored in 60 matches as compared to 121 last year, the Chennaiyin vs Goa clash  here saw as many as five goals all in the second half.

Bruno Pelissari put Chennaiyin ahead in 54th but Goa equalised within four minutes with Haokip finding the target. Joffre Gonzalez then put Goa ahead for first time in the 87th minute. But, under dramatic circumstances, Goa goalkeeper laxmikant Kattimani conceded an own goal in the 90th minute to level the score before Chennaiyin striker Stiven Mendoza found the target in the first minute of the injury time to stun the home supporters of Goa.
