Having to live up to the kind of reputation TFG has built over the last few rounds, we venture to call the games of Round 6 of the Indian Super League. With the title race thickening and teams starting to have their own days of shine, things are only getting tougher. This round has a double-header for the Mumbaikars, both at home. The other Dark Horses are also in play, two against each other. A very interesting round which will set the trend.
BOTH BERNARD MENDY and goal machine Stiven Mendoza found the net for Chennaiyin FC as they managed to earn a well-fought 2-1 win over Pune CIty to mark their first victory at home in this year's ISL.
CHENNAIYIN FC SHOWED THEIR INTENT in a dominating first half performance against Pune City, leading 1-0 at the break.

Chennaiyin, who are trying to recover from the shock defeat to NorthEast United, will look at this match with utmost importance in order to get their campagin back on track.
The predictions and results of the 4th round proved that TFG's overall assessment of the teams and the games were right. We take on from there and as more clarity emerges about each team vis-a-vis players and strategies, we bring you the winners and losers of the 5th Round which commences today evening.
IF ROUND 3 of the Indian Super League was the round of fireworks as teams like Chennaiyin and Goa sought to re-establish themselves with lots of goals, sending the customary firework system off every time, the 4th round was the round of grit, where we got to see all four winners putting up strong defensive displays, keeping clean sheets, and clinching victories by one or two goal margins.
A MATCH RIDDLED WITH cards, confrontations and controversial decisions made for a highly tense ISL encounter at Guwahati tonight as NorthEast United claimed their first win of the campaign by beating Chennaiyin FC 2-0.
A flurry of cards and a missed penalty highlighted a period of confusion and chaos as NorthEast United and Chennaiyin FC remained goalless in the first half at a 4th round ISL encounter tonight.
CHENNAIYIN FC have already made a great comeback. NorthEast United are looking to do the same tonight in a crucial ISL 4th round encounter tonight. Between two teams fighting to prove their worth, the battle is for every inch of the grass.
ROUND THREE OF THE ISL saw a lot of teams finally figure themselves out, and the beginnings of what may well turn out to be the steady trends that will prevail throughout the tournament and shape its course. If the morning shows the day, well the ISL is just about past the dawn phase. And we at TFG bring you, once again, a few of those who shined, and a few who fizzed right out. It's Tops & Flops time folks!
