Roberto Eslava put the hosts ahead in the 14th minute while Nestor Gordillo added a second in the 52nd minute to bring up the victory. Subash Singh scored a consolation goal for the visitors.


The win also extended Chennai’s stay at the top. They have 16 points from six games, eight clear of the second-placed Mohun Bagan, who have played two fewer matches. Neroca, on the other, remained on seventh with five points from the same number of matches.

Both sides took time to settle into the match but Chennai were the better team and broke the deadlock with their first shot on target. Eslava scored the opening goal after Sandro Rodriguez’s curling corner was put into his path by Pravitto Raju.

Three minutes later, Chennai could have doubled their lead after some passing display between Alexander Jesuraj and Gordillo sent the latter clear but Neroca goalkeeper Mauro Boerchio was at hand to collect the ball before Gordillo could fire a shot.

Gordillo had another opportunity in the 25th minute from another of Jesuraj’s cross, which sent the Spaniard clear on goal but he failed to find the target.

There was, however, no stopping Gordillo, who redeemed himself with a goal in the second half. A through ball from Edwin Vanaspaul saw the Spaniard striker surge past Ashok Singh before chipping the ball over Mauro.

Neroca coach Manuel Fraile immediately introduced former East Bengal midfielder Katsumi Yusa to inject some pace into the attack and it was his pressure on Roberto Eslava and Edwin Vanspau that allowed Subash to stroll the ball home.

It though was a mere consolation goal for the visitors as Chennai had little difficulty in securing a victory.
