Chennaiyin FC became the 2015 Hero Indian Super League champions after beating FC Goa 3-2 in the final at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda on Sunday evening. After a goalless first half, the game burst into life in the second. Chennai took the lead through Bruno Pelissari before a Thongkhosiem Haokip strike and a Joffre free-kick gave Goa a 2-1 lead with three minutes to spare. Chennaiyin FC though retaliated with two goals – first a Laxmikant Kattimani own goal seconds before full-time and then a Stiven Mendoza winner during stoppage time - to claim the trophy.
FC Goa were quick off the blocks and had a shot on goal blocked by Chennaiyin FC’s defence under 10 seconds. The Super Machans weren’t exactly prepared to be on the back foot either with Thoi Singh looking threatening on the right side of Chennai’s attacks.
The first clear-cut chance fell Chennai’s way with Bruno Pelissari exchanging a brilliant one-two with Mendoza before unleashing a left-footed effort just wide of goal in the 17th minute. Goa responded with a Jonatan Lucca free-kick which keeper Apoula Edel put behind for a corner.
