Chennaiyin Attack

And Chennaiyin have a corner.

Goan Counter

90 + 2’ But, Goa have a superb counter, Two against one, but Manvir Singh takes a shot from an acute angle when he was better off perhaps just squaring it for Coro in the centre.

Karanjit Save

Saved by Karanjit. Corner. Keep it there.

Two Minutes Left

90’ + 4’ Goa seem like they can play this out. Two minutes to go.

FUll TIME: Goa are Champions

Goa have won he Super Cup. Their first title under Segio Lobera. Three years of brilliant football, beautiful football, fan friendly football and now, the thing fans crave most. A title. They deserved to win this title. Well done boys!

Chennaiyin for the Future

Chennaiyin should be happy they got this far, and they did well to beat some good teams to get here. They may have salvaged their season with this, and even if they cannot build from here, at least the boys put on a show for future employers to look forward to.

Finally Some Silverware for Goa

FC Goa. Uff. They deserved something for all those years of building a team and a style that had substance and thrill. But now they have their title. Party up. Good way to end the season.

Goan Supremacy

Arjun Pandit: Whether you’re a Goa fan, or a fan of Chennaiyin, you have to have enjoyed the way Goa play their football. And be proud too. This is completely new for Indian football, a team that enjoys holding the ball, playing with it, and thrives when they have the ball. Possession based football has never been India’s forte and even though Goa will not have the chance to take this to Asia, if and when they do, it will be a proud moment for Indian football. The fact that they have retained the core for their squad means there is more to come. And more to salivate over.
