HFC vs CFC Highlights: Hyderabad FC 1-1 Chennaiyin FC Highlights in ISL 2023 Highlights – An 87th-minute Bartholomew Ogbeche penalty helped Hyderabad FC seal a crucial point against Chennaiyin FC in the Hero Indian Super League (ISL) at the G.M.C. Barretto waltzed down the left side, cut inside onto his right foot and tried to curl his effort into the far post. In the 56th minute, Meetel’s darting run down the right flank saw him dribble past Nim Dorjee and get his shot away before Odei Onaindia came in with a crucial block to put it out for a corner. The midfielder lobbed a long ball from midfield towards Vincy Barretto inside the box before the winger failed to apply the finishing touch. In the 17th minute, Mohammad Yasir whipped a promising ball in from the right flank that found the head of Siverio.

The two-time Hero ISL champions are one of only three teams to have reached the finals thrice, having been on the losing side just once.

And I think if you're patient with Brdaric, I think that you'll reap the rewards in the future. They've been scoreless in only one match, but he needs to get his defenders onto the same wavelength. The 47-year-old’s attitude of being a go-getter has been comprehensively received by fans and pundits alike. With a total revamp of the team, new foreign signings, and potent youngsters, Brdaric is slowly but surely getting to implement his brand of football despite the setbacks, knocks, and losses his team has received this season. Further, two of Chennaiyin FC’s players, Petar Sliskovic and Abdenasser El Khayati, feature in the top goalscorers of the season list, with seven goals each. I think he's finally found the best system and formation of play, where he's tried lots of formations throughout the season. Be it their 7-3 victory over NorthEast United FC or even their 2-1 loss against Mumbai City FC, there’s a certainty in his brand of football that will take time to infuse and develop among his players. Chennaiyin FC are currently seventh in the league standings with 15 points in 12 games, comprising four wins, three draws, and five losses. The following season, under the guidance of head coach Bozidar Bandovic, the results were identical, and so was the team’s position in the league standings. His side’s compact gameplay failed to make an impact in the league, as Chennaiyin FC scored the least number of goals (17). Having made it to the playoffs four times out of eight seasons and winning the title in two of those is an exemplary achievement for any club. Laszlo couldn’t implement his level of playing style as effectively, and the team drew the joint-most number of games alongside Hyderabad FC.
