Matchweek 5 of the the Indian Super League kicks off with Mohun Bagan on top of the standings.
Here's a quick recap of the fixtures from the fifth matchweek, with the latest match report up first.
Chennaiyin FC 5-3 East Bengal
Chennaiyin FC earned their first win of the season by beating defending champions East Bengal 5-3 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai on Saturday.
Brison Fernandes set the tone with two goals inside the opening 18 minutes, while Ramon Tanque converted a first-half penalty. Irfan Yadwad added two more after the break to complete Chennaiyin's emphatic victory. East Bengal, who suffered their first league defeat of the season, found the net through Aké Loba, Dani Ramírez and David Lalhlansanga.
Chennaiyin made a blistering start, with Fernandes opening the scoring in the fourth minute with a right-footed finish, assisted by Yadwad. The winger doubled his tally in the 18th minute with a delightful finish that beat Prabhsukhan Gill all ends up, to make it 2-0 to the hosts.
East Bengal responded in the 29th minute when Loba found the net with a right-footed strike. However, Chennaiyin restored their two-goal advantage just before half-time, as Tanque converted a penalty in the 41st minute to make it 3-1.
The visitors reduced the deficit early in the second half after a handball by Muhammed Saheef resulted in a penalty. Ramírez stepped up and converted from the spot in the 47th minute, bringing East Bengal back in the game.
But Chennaiyin once again had two-goal advantage with Yadwad finding the net just shy of the hour mark. The forward completed his brace in the 67th minute, finishing after being set up by Tanque to make it 5-2 and put the contest firmly in Chennaiyin's favour. East Bengal continued to push and found a late consolation through Lalhlansanga in stoppage time, with Hardik Bhatt providing the assist.
However, Chennaiyin held on to secure a memorable 5-3 victory and their first three points of the campaign.
Inter Kashi 0-3 SC Delhi
SC Delhi made it two wins in a row, as they breezed past Inter Kashi 3-0 at the Balewadi Stadium in Pune on Saturday evening.
Delhi got off to the perfect start with just six minutes on the clock, as Rodriguinho's cross was tapped in from a few yards out by Carlos Fortes, although replays showed that Fortes might have been offside when Rodriguinho played the ball.
Kashi fought hard for the rest of the first half, but couldn't really create a notable opportunity, which they didn't really manage in the second half either.
Juan Pena doubled the lead in the 74th minute after a header from a reasonable distance off a Manoj Mohammed cross traveled all the way into the far corner. Rodriguinho then scored again to make sure of the points, as Delhi climbed up to fourth in the standings, with seven points from five games.
FC Goa 1-2 Bengaluru FC
Soham Varshneya scored a winner in the third minute of second half stoppage time, as Bengaluru FC beat FC Goa 2-1 at Fatorda on Friday evening.
It was a winner that came in controversial circumstances, as it was clear that Goa should have been awarded a throw-in deep in Bengaluru territory, but that decision went the other way. Bengaluru made the most of that refereeing gaffe, and went the length of the field. Ryan Williams spread it out wide to Ashique Kuruniyan on the left, and then he set up a shot for Varshneya, who made no mistake with a shot into the corner, to Bob Jackson's right.
Earlier, Bengaluru took the lead in the 12th minute through a precise long shot from Borja Martinez, but that lead only lasted five minutes, as Franchu returned the favour with an even better strike from outside the box.
Between Franchu's goal and Varshneya's, there was little action of note, but the youngster came up with the pivotal moment, as Bengaluru went up to third, two points behind league leaders Mohun Bagan, as Pep Munoz's team have a game in hand as well.
Mohun Bagan 3-2 Odisha FC
Dejan Drazic struck a brace as Mohun Bagan Super Giant edged Odisha FC 3-2 in a pulsating Indian Super League clash at the Salt Lake Stadium.
Drazic scored in the 47th and 74th minutes while Lee Erwin found the target in the 88th minute to seal all three points for Bagan. Mahmoud Eid (51st) and Everton (79th) brought Odisha FC level on two occasions, but Bagan had the final say in the game.
Drazic found the breakthrough in the 47th minute -- he danced through the Odisha defenders after Anirudh Thapa played a pinpoint through ball, before calmly finishing with his left foot into the bottom corner, sending the ball past Tiwari.
Odisha equalised within four minutes. Nihal Sudhish delivered a cross in front of Vishal Kaith, and Eid tapped it in to make it 1-1 in the 51st minute.
Mohun Bagan regained the lead in the 74th minute. Lallianzuala Chhangte lost his man with slick footwork before whipping in a low cross, and Drazic completed his brace with a tap-in to make it 2-1.
Odisha drew level once again five minutes later. Mehtab cleared the ball, but it took a deflection off Tekcham Abhishek Singh and fell to Everton, who turned and finished with a right-footed curler to make it 2-2 in the 79th minute.
Bagan eventually found the winner in the 88th minute. Erwin struck sharply with his right foot into the bottom-left corner to make it 3-2 and seal a dramatic victory.
Churchill Brothers 0-2 NorthEast United FC
NorthEast United FC extended their unbeaten run in the league to five matches with a 2-0 victory over Churchill Brothers at the PJN Stadium, Fatorda, on Thursday.
Ethyan González gave NorthEast the lead in the first half (16') before Antonio Moyano struck deep into stoppage time (90+3') to seal all three points.
NorthEast broke the deadlock through González, who scored with the outside of his boot to make it 1-0. The goal followed a swift counter-attacking move after what was poor defending by Churchill, with Jithin MS providing the assist.
Churchill Brothers emerged with renewed intent after the break, pushing forward in search of an equaliser and putting the NorthEast defence under sustained pressure. They, however, displayed composure and defensive discipline.
NorthEast eventually put the contest beyond reach in the third minute of stoppage time. Abdul Rabeeh set up Antonio Moyano, who made no mistake with a right-footed effort that took a deflection on its way to the goal to make it 2-0.
