LAST MATCH RESULT
25.11.23: (ISL, CHENNAI) - CHENNAIYIN FC 1-1 EAST BENGAL FC
CARLES CUADRAT IN PRE-MATCH PRESS CONFERENCE
REGARDING REFEREE
"We lost 5 important points for the wrong decisions of the Referees in the matches against Odisha FC, Mohun Bagan SG and in the last match against Jamshedpur FC. This has effected in our position in the ISL league table. The coaches and the footballers lost their jobs owing to their bad performance. Four coaches in the current ISL lost their jobs. But the Referees are not penalised for their wrong decisions. We said, they are humans they may do mistakes. India is improving in football but not in Refereeing. Rahul Gupta and Crystal John were in my nightmare."
REGARDING CHENNAIYIN FC MATCH
“When you don't increase your lead, anything can happen. Ee had many clear chances to score the second goal. But the players are giving everything to the team, so I am happy.”
"There are still seven games to play. We have played fewer games than other teams so it makes it look like we have a lot to do.”
“We have to be competitive. It's a league where any team can beat any team.”

OWEN COYLE IN PRE-MATCH PRESS CONFERENCE
Yes, there are a lot of similarities, a lot of parallels between Chennaiyin and East Bengal. We saw in the first half of our last match that our boys were outstanding against a team that is very close to winning the shield. We played well in the first half and our next opponent has done that regularly in a lot of matches as well. Our team has to be more consistent and that would be the key to our success."
"We will look to put the best team we can on the field and try to win the upcoming match. It's a game that we're more than capable of winning."
"We are ready to go into the match tomorrow. It would be a totally different game. We will go there, play positive and try to win the game.

CARLES QUADRAT IN PRE MATCH PRESS CONFERENCE
“We have to improve in some competitive factors to get us more points. So, we are conscious, to have conceded two goals in the last three games makes it difficult to get points. Lalchungnunga and Mahesh Singh Naorem were with the national team, but we have been working hard with the rest of the players in this aspect.”
“I think that we all have to try to be positive to understand that it's the start of a new project and that sometimes you have to get the automatics happening in the team. The combination of players really supports each other, helps each other and knows how to manage the full game. So, I'm very happy with the work that we have been doing these last two weeks, and let's hope that we can express that also on the pitch in the next game.”

OWEN COYLE IN PRE MATCH PRESS CONFERENCE
“We have worked really hard in the last two weeks and we are looking forward to another home game. We were disappointed with the result against FC Goa, but there were things that were certainly self-inflicted. We allowed some easy goals; there were some deflections that happened. We made chances but the last couple of weeks have given us chances to work on different things, so we are looking forward to a tough game, fresh and ready to go."
"I think in the ISL, it is always going to be very difficult to play against East Bengal. It's never easy to score goals and that's the hardest part of football. I hold Carles in high regard as his football ability is fantastic and I am looking forward to seeing him but he knows as I do for the duration of the game, we'll be doing everything in our power to win the game. He's an outstanding man and I know how hard he works, so we know it's going to be a difficult game."

7': GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL. Chennaiyin FC had the early lead. A pass from the right by Ankit Mukherjee and Cornor Sheilds places the ball between the two defenders at the far corner of the net.
Chennaiyin FC edged past Hyderabad FC by 1-0 at the Gachibowli Stadium tonight to secure their first win of the Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24 campaign.
Chennaiyin kicked off the match on an upbeat note, with Scottish striker Connor Shields getting off the mark in the seventh minute of the game to bring up his maiden goal for the Marina Machans. Owen Coyle and his men needed an early boost in the contest to shoot up their confidence at Hyderabad's home turf. Shields orchestrated this move by dropping deep and drawing the home team’s backline towards him. He teamed well with Rafael Crivellaro, who then released the ball to Ankit Mukherjee on the right flank.
The 27-year-old cut into the box and squared off a pass to Shields that the striker slid in home to build up on the impressive goal-scoring prowess that he showed in the friendly games that Chennaiyin played in the international break. For the uninitiated, the 26-year-old had notched a hat-trick against Gokulam Kerala FC in one of those preparatory games and he built up on that terrific form with a sweet strike in this encounter.
Hyderabad had a nice passage of play soon afterward, but their inefficiency in front of goal coupled with some good shot-stopping from Debjit Majumder prohibited them from bagging the equaliser. Joe Knowles lined up a peach of a delivery for Aaren D'Silva inside the box, only for the 25-year-old to shoot it wide off target. Petteri Pennanen had a fantastic chance to draw the scores level four minutes later. The Finnish midfielder created space inside the Chennaiyin box with some smart footwork. D’Silva worked hard to deliver him a fine pass from close range but Pennanen was unable to get the ball past Majumder from a pretty narrow angle.
Majumder came to his side’s rescue once again as he was positioned well to stop a shot by João Victor getting into the back of the net. Vignesh Dakshinamurthy and Mohammad Yasir played some quick passes in the left flank before the latter crossed one in for Victor at the centre. The 34-year-old Spaniard possibly intended to catch Majumder off-guard with a long-range effort, but it was not to be tonight. Victor had another opportunity in the second half to notch Hyderabad’s opening goal of the night, but he ended up heading the ball off target. A few minutes earlier, Shields tried to seal the deal for his team with a formidable shot that hit the side of the net instead.

**** In his earlier tenure, Owen Coyle had joined Chennaiyin FC midway through ISL 2019-20 and sparked a remarkable turnaround to take them to the final of that season.
COACHES COMMENT BEFORE THE MATCH
Chennaiyin FC head coach Owen Coyle : “In terms of the league, if you look at the league right now, the teams that have started really well are the teams that have played two home games together. Obviously, the teams that have not had the best of starts are the ones that have played two away games barring Mumbai, who are a champion team. I think people look at results. As coaches, it’s important to win, but you need to look deeper. If you win, it doesn’t mean you are a great team and if you lose it doesn’t mean you are a bad team. There are reasons for it and you need to understand them and make sure you get better as you progress.”
Mohun Bagan Super Giant head coach Juan Ferrando “It’s important to win three points. All the teams are doing well. Chennaiyin have lost their two matches but it’s their first home game so it will be difficult (for us). At this stage, the most important thing is to find the best lineup, the best squad. I think for us the most important thing is to think of the present. For me, it’s important that it’s not just about the physical condition but also the mental conditions for the players to be ready and motivated for these matches.”

REFEREE: PRATIK MONDAL
Goals in either halves by Jerry Mawihmingthanga and Diego Mauricio helped Odisha FC defeat Chennaiyin FC by 2-0 at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar to start their Indian Super League (ISL) 2023 campaign on a victorious note on Saturday.
Odisha seemed to have adapted into new head coach Sergio Lobera’s philosophy seamlessly right from the offset. They held the major chunk of the possession and kept probing the Chennaiyin defence with their fluid offensive moves but neither of the two teams came close to breaking the deadlock until Jerry found the breakthrough courtesy of some incredible coordination upfront in the 45th minute of the game.
Goalkeeper Samik Mitra failed to handle a long-range shot properly, which landed in fullback Amey Ranawade’s feet on the right hand side of the 18-yard box. Ranawade squared up a neat pass to Jerry, who turned around swiftly and shot firmly from his left foot into the bottom right corner to hand the Juggernauts the vital lead heading into the half-time break.
Chennaiyin came close to levelling the scores shortly after the break. They won a corner in the 56th minute and the duo of Lazar Cirkovic and Connor Shields scrapped through to somehow equalise. However, a resilient Odisha backline spearheaded by goalkeeper Amrinder Singh ensured that the team kept the visitors at bay.
Lobera reinforced Odisha’s attack by bringing in Brazilian forward Diego Mauricio for Jiteshwor Singh as the second half progressed. Mauricio, the joint-highest goal-scorer of the previous ISL season, instantly pounced upon a defensive error by Ankit Mukerjee to bag the home side’s second goal of the night. Mukherjee fumbled a back pass that ended in Mauricio’s pathway, who rounded off Mitra to calmly slot the ball into the back of the net.
The Juggernauts grew in confidence thereafter as they tested the Chennaiyin defence pretty closely in the final 20 minutes of the match. First, Isak Vanlalruatfela came close to furthering the lead but his shot ended up slightly wayward off the post in the 73rd minute. A few minutes later, towering defender Mourtada Fall jumped high amidst a tight space but ended up heading the ball faintly off target.
