Chennai: Chennaiyin FC notched up a convincing 2-0 win over ATK to make the final of the Hero Super Cup football tournament here Wednesday. The former Indian Super League (ISL) winners will meet FC Goa in the title clash at the Kalinga Stadium on Saturday.
Chennaiyin made a very attacking start and created a chance for themselves early but could not manage to convert anything into a goal in the first half. ATK was able to defend well in the first half as the game witnessed no goal during that period.
With no goals scored in the first half by both the teams, Chennaiyin continued to dominate ATK in the second-half. Just five minutes into the second half, Chennaiyin’s CK Vineeth handed over his team their first goal through a header.
Then, within eight minutes, in-from Anirudh Thapa helped Chennaiyin double the lead. The goals by the two in-form players rattled two-time ISL champions ATK, and they could not make a match of it after that.
They will now face FC Goa for the Super Cup 2019 title at the same venue on 13 April.
