Chennaiyin FC extended its unbeaten run at home against Kerala Blasters FC to nine games with a 1-0 victory at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Friday.
Aakash Sangwan found the net for the host — his first in the Indian Super League — right on the hour mark. Farukh Choudhary received a throw from Sangwan and flicked a pass to the Chennaiyin defender who cut across the KBFC defence and sent in a shot with the outside of his left foot, which beat the dives of Marko Leskovic and goalkeeper Karanjit Singh.
KBFC, currently on a five-match winless run, is fourth on the points table with 26 points from 15 games. Owen Coyle’s side lies eighth with 15 points from 14 outings.
