CHENNAI: The landmark 1000th Indian Super League match between Chennaiyin FC and Mumbai City FC on Saturday was a slow burner.
After a cagey first-half that ended goalless and had only sprinkles of clear-cut chances, the game sprang to life around the hour-mark. Defenders Ryan Edwards (60th minute) and Nathan Rodrigues (63rd) displayed their attacking prowess for Chennaiyin and Mumbai respectively, before the teams shook hands for a 1-1 stalemate at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
