#1 Lekic troubles Chennaiyin

Antonio Habas was dealt a blow as Borja Fernandez was ruled out of this game with an injury picked up in the first leg. The big Serbian striker Dejan Lekic started in Borja's place, which meant Iain Hume had to play a much deeper role. And Lekic was relishing the challenge, as he didn't give Mailson Alves and Bernard Mendy a minute's peace.

It was his persistence which got Kolkata's first goal, as he pressed deep in the Chennaiyin half to latch on to Mendy's weak back header. He could have had a few more goals as well, with a bit more composure.
