CHENNAI: Chennaiyin FC beat Hyderabad FC 1-0 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25, on Wednesday, Decmber 11, 2024, to snap a three-game losing streak.

The match started with Hyderabad FC keeping a major chunk of the ball and attempting to dictate the pace of the proceedings in the first five minutes.

However, going against the run of play, Chennaiyin FC player Lukas Brambilla recovered possession near the halfway mark and positioned himself perfectly to deliver a defence-splitting through ball. He had two options, either to go to Wilmar Jordan Gil through the centre, or trust Irfan Yadwad who was operating on the inside left channel.

Brambilla opted for the latter route, pulling off a perfectly weighted through ball that met Yadwad few yards away from goal. Yadwad trusted his instincts and unleashed a timely shot that beat the challenge by Soyal Joshy as the ball found its way into the centre of the goal to break the deadlock in the fifth minute. Yadwad was adjudged the Key Performer of the Match.

Hyderabad FC will next play against NorthEast United FC on December 23, whereas Chennaiyin FC will be clashing against Mumbai City FC on December 21.
