After conceding the first goal in the 45th minute to Income Tax, Chennai FC bounced back scoring four goals in the span of 17 minutes. Pragnesh Bharat equalised in the 49th minute and that opened the floodgates before Joseph Selwyn gave his team the lead in the 52nd minute. Income Tax couldn’t recover from conceding those quick golas and its defence crumbled.
Meanwhile, Viva Chennai’s hopes of lifting the trophy received a jolt when it dropped two crucial points to the struggling Southern Railway. The Railway team took the lead in the 83rd minute and just when it looked like Viva was heading towards a defeat, Eze Daniel saved its blushes by scoring a late equaliser.
RESULTS: Chennai FC 4 (Pragnesh Bharat 49, Joseph Selwyn 52, Emmanuel 62, Abhishek Kumar Singh 66) bt Income Tax RC 1 (Ameer 45); Viva Chennai 2 (Pemba Rai 11, Eze Daniel 90+1) drew with Southern Railway 2 (Kathiravan 33, Charles 83)
