Last year's beaten finalists Chennaiyin have made an encouraging start to the season with a win and a draw in an unbeaten opening to the campaign.

Csaba Lazlo's side won their opening game 2-1 against Jamshedpur. Midfielder Anirudh Thapa scored just a minute into the game and Isma doubled the lead from the penalty spot.

Chennaiyin had to settle for a share of the points last time as they drew 0-0 with Kerala Blasters. Chennaiyin were left to rue Jakub Sylvestr's penalty miss in the 74th minute.

Bengaluru, last season's semi-finalists, played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in their opening game of the new season against Goa.

Brazilian winger Cleiton Silva and Spanish defender Juanan put Bengaluru 2-0 up with goals in each half. But Carles Cuadrat's side conceded twice in three minutes as an Igor Angulo double earned Goa a point.

It was a 0-0 draw in their second match against Hyderabad with Bengaluru failing to muster up a single shot on target.
