Indian Super League: Dhanachandra Singh - Leo Moura admitted it wasn't a penalty

This was Goa's fourth win in eight matches and they were one point ahead of FC Pune City and Delhi Dynamos FC.

Players in action during an ISL match between Chennaiyin FC and FC Goa at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai on November 5, 2015. With the league entering the middle phase, there is not much of a difference between the eight teams as all of them are looking to grab full points to reach the last four.

Worse for Chennaiyin, Harmanjyot Khabra was sent off in the 89th minute, the second time he has been shown the red card in the league. Goa, however, played with a five man defence which proved hard to break down. Just before the end of the first half, FC Goa came close to scoring when Thongkoisep Hoakip had only the goalkeeper to beat.

The best chance for Chennai fell at the feet of Mendoza in the 35th minute.

Zico admitted that Chennaiyin's star striker Stiven Mendoza along with midfielder Elano Blumer, who had destroyed the Guars at Fatorda, will have special attention from the FC Goa defence. This time Santosh adjudged, somewhat harshly, that Chennaiyin FC's right-back Mehrajuddin Wadoo had handled a close-range shot from Luiz. Talking about the next game against Northeast United FC, Materazzi said, 'The next game is very important, we have to regroup and recover. Chennai's day worsened when Harmanjyot Khabra was sent off for a tackle on Moura.

Goa turned things around in the second session with two spot kicks, both of which were converted easily.

The first penalty was awarded after Bernard Mendy from the Chennaiyin FC side brought down Rafael from the Goan side during the 64th minutre who was with the ball racing towards goal.

The penalties were converted by Moura and Jonatan Lucca respectively.

Just 10 minutes later, Goa had their second penalty when the ball hit Wadoo's hand inside the box. This time, Jonatan Lucca stepped in to take the spot kick and he didn't make any mistakes.
