FC Pune City’s search for top spot in the 2015 Hero Indian Super League hit a roadblock as Chennaiyin FC came out winners in a tightly-contested game played at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai on Saturday evening. Bernard Mendy’s header in the 34th minute and Stiven Mendoza’s 48th-minute goal saw the hosts secure all three points in front of the 26,821 supporters, taking Marco Materazzi’s men into the top half of the table. Kalu Uche pulled one back for the visitors in the 75th minute to narrow the scoreline.

Chennaiyin put in a composed show after a 2-0 defeat against NorthEast United FC in their last match. The first half witnessed a show of goalkeeping brilliance, with Steven Simonsen standing tall in goal for Pune, denying Elano twice and then Mendoza in one-on-one situations. For Chennaiyin, goalie Karanjit Singh pulled off a fine fingertip save to deny Dharmaraj Ravanan a goal from a set-piece at point-blank range. But Simonsen was helpless when a long throw-in from Dhanachandra Singh into the box was met by Mendy’s glancing header, well directed in the far corner.
