It was a slow start and a commanding display from the hosts, Chennaiyin FC initially. Who could have predicted that the newcomers would seize the lead in the 39th minute?

However, it was, MSC's Lalremsanga Fanai who struck with a precise left-footed shot from the center of the box, finding the heart of the net. The Marina Machans' goalkeeper, Samik Mitra, could not make a back pass. And this allowed the White Brigade's forward to capitalize brilliantly on the chance that was meant to create history.

Fanai's strike was the only goal made in the CFC vs MSC match that featured 9 minutes of extra time thrill. However, it is worth noting that Connor Shields, the most dangerous man of the Chennayin FC, had several moments of brilliance. He nearly gave his side the lead in the fifth minute itself with a corner that was met by Irfan Yadwad. The hosts created more than ten chances, but none of them found the target.

The 22-year-old not only netted his first goal of the campaign but also recorded MSC's first score away. Last season, Fanai scored 8 goals during Mohammedan Sporting's successful I League 2023-24 campaign.
