Chirag United dominated most of the proceedings but failed to score goal against ONGC in their first match of their II Division I-League campaign.
In the first half, attacking from left to right and playing with the wind, Chirag made some serious moves that tested ONGC's defense. Theodore Sunday's goalmouth attempt at the 25th minute which went wide and a swerving left-footer at the 35th minute saved by the ONGC custodian was the highlight of the first half. In the last five minute, ONGC was truly at the receiving end, when Chirag forced two free kicks and a corner, however, they failed to convert the set-pieces.
In the second half, Chirag added more sharpness in their attack by introducing talented Sankar Oraon. As a cohesive unit, Chirag made many smart attacks but failed to convert any of them, and at the 75th minute Ejike missed an open net. The last four minutes of the injury time definitely belonged to ONGC, when they scared Chirag with Jatin Bisht's dangerously curling corner which beat custodian Arindam Ghosh, however, an alert Kinshuk Debnath proved saviour by clearing on the line.
Chirag United's coach, Anjan Nath said that the open sitters missed by his wards deprived them with a win. ONGC's coach Irinio Vaz, commented that the ground conditions took them some time to settle down, he is concered about the teams weak defence, but promised a better performance in the next match.
