Chennaiyin FC's head coach Owen Coyle voiced his disappointment following a 2-0 defeat by FC Goa in the Indian Super League (ISL) on Saturday. The Gaurs seized control from the start, with Spanish forward Iker Guarrotxena's 11th-minute goal setting the pace.

Aakash Sangwan doubled the lead in the 26th minute, punishing his former club further. Chennaiyin FC's performance improved after half-time, but they struggled to breach FC Goa's defense.
