The Hindu
Three eye-catching left-footed strikes in the second half seals the issue for the visitors, who remained second in the standings behind Mumbai City
Hyderabad FC produced one of its brightest performance yet with a commanding 3-1 victory over Chennaiyin FC in an Indian Super League clash here on Saturday.
The visitor remained in second position behind Mumbai City FC with 19 points from nine matches while the host stayed in seventh with 10 from eight matches.
The defending champion’s three goals came through eye-catching left-footed strikes in the second half, of which two emerged from outside the box.
Hyderabad went 1-0 up after Halicharan Narzary’s stinging shot went past the outstretched hands of ‘keeper Debjit Majumder.
Even as Chennaiyin was making attacking forays through Abdenasser El Khayati’s speedy runs, Hyderabad raced to a 2-0 lead minutes before Chennaiyin’s Ajith Kumar was shown a red card (two yellow).
The ball was right in the slot for Chinglensana Singh after a set-piece move resulted in a poor clearance from the defence.
El Khayati raised hopes for the home side with a wonderful and precise pass to Petar Sliskovic, who headed it home.
