Chennaiyin 2-1 Northeast United: CFC Create History as Playoff Berth Just 1 Point Away!
Chennaiyin FC created history last night as they became the first ISL team to win three consecutive games after going a goal down. "Comeback FC" as they are being called by the supporters, beat Mohun Bagan 3-2 and Jamshedpur 2-1 before beating Northeast United last night in what was another exceptional display.
Northeast United took the lead early in the second half, capitalising on a defensive error from Sarthak Golui. When it looked like points could be dropped, Aakash Sangwan stepped up in the 72nd minute to level the scoring with an unforgetable Olympic Goal to make the score 1-1.
Aakash's goal gave CFC the spark that they needed to go ahead full throttle. The winning goal was finally scored by Ankit Mukherjee in injury time after a cut back from Rahim Ali found him on the edge of the penalty box, finishing calmly to make it 2-1 to Chennaiyin.
Chennaiyin's Playoff Qualification Scenario:
==> If East Bengal draw or lose to Punjab FC tonight, Chennaiyin immidiately qualify to the playoffs
==> If East Bengal beat Punjab FC, Chennaiyin need to win or draw the game against FC Goa on 14th April
