KERALA, Apr 15: Churchill Brothers and Chennaiyin FC played out a goal-less draw in a Group D clash of the Super Cup football tournament at the Payyanad Stadium here on Saturday.
Both the teams started the match with a cautious approach and much of the play was confined to the midfield area in the initial stages.
Chennaiyin FC head coach Tomas Brdaric relied on the likes of Rahim Ali in the forward line, who had scored a brace in their previous match against NorthEast United.
The first real chance of the match came in the 26th minute when Aakash Sangwan whipped in a curling left-footed corner, which went to his teammate Fallou Diagne. The Senegalese centre-back, however, failed to convert from a touching distance.
Churchill Brothers had their first shot on target when Liberian Ansumana Kromah tested Chennaiyin goalkeeper Samik Mitra from inside the penalty box.
Kromah missed a golden opportunity minutes before the end of first half, when his header from close range went high over the crossbar. He had only Chennaiyin custodian Samik Mitra to beat.
Chennaiyin FC created more chances in the second half but could not break the deadlock as they faltered in front of the goalmouth.
