The Islanders are on a five-match unbeaten run, winning four games. If they manage to avoid defeat against Chennaiyin, it will be their best unbeaten run in the history of the ISL and much of the credit has to go to their mean defence which has leaked in a mere two goals since conceding five against FC Goa. Mumbai, who suffered an embarrassing loss in Goa, did not look back after that match....

“Congratulations to Bengaluru, they played very well,” said the Spaniard, though he lamented over the recovery period afforded to his team following their 3-2 win over FC Pune City in Pune. “Bengaluru had seven days for recovery and my team had only four days.

Another area of concern for Portugal was the fact that an artificial turf was provided to them for training as he explained, “We had to train in an artificial ground and my team usually trains on a natural pitch....

On that note, let’s take a look at five foreign players in the ISL who have underperformed so far. Luis Alfonso Paez Hailing from Columbia, Alfonso is one of the marquee forwards for NorthEast United FC, but has failed to find the back of the net this season even once....

" I am not here to joke or to just play and go, I am here to take the trophy home. For that I have been working for the past six weeks," said a confident Uche.

Uche has been named as captain and will be their target-man but he says that he is ready to deliver and there is no extra pressure....

While they drew against ATK and lost in Guwahati, the Gaurs finally managed to get themselves back on the winning track with a win against the stubborn Jamshedpur FC side.

His third, which finally put hosts Deportivo La Coruna to the sword, was vintage Messi. He accelerated in a seemingly effortless manner through the heart of the defence before planting the ball into the corner of the goal. It was simple brilliance, the type of which Barca have become renowned for over the last decade. Before then, they had scored a couple of more elaborate goals. Suarez scooped a brilliant cross for the little Argentine to convert in the first half, while eight minutes from time the same duo combined brilliantly in the box to score what proved the goal that won the crown back from Real Madrid....
