Season 2 of the Hero Indian Super League [ISL] got off to a blockbuster start as defending champions Atlético de Kolkata edged past Chennaiyin FC in a high-octane and nervy inaugural match in front of a crowd of 29,923.
Two goals from Atlético de Kolkata’s marquee player Hélder Postiga and a header by super-sub Valdo proved to be enough to see off spirited Chennaiyin FC.
The southern outfit didn’t help themselves after defensive errors led to the first two goals for Kolkata before a pinpoint cross from last year’s Hero of the Tournament Iain Hume led to a thumping header by Valdo. Goals from Jeje and Elano would make it 2-1 and 3-2 for the home side.
