Brentford striker Ivan Toney scored with a deft backheel finish in the first half and added a penalty in the second to give his side a 2-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion in their Premier League clash at the Community Stadium on Friday.
The match was an even affair, but Debjit’s red card after bringing down Roy Krishna outside the box could have turned the game decisively in BFC’s favour. Chennaiyin had exhausted their five substitutes and defender Vafa Hakhamaneshi had to do the goalkeeping duties for the last 10-odd minutes. It was nervous times for CFC but the defence held firm and did not allow Bengaluru strikers Krishna and Sunil Chhetri to take a crack at the goal.
Debutants Morocco scored through El Madani (50th minute), Yasmine Zouhir (61st) and Cherif Djennah (90+1) to script their maiden win in the tournament. India, who were also making their debut as automatic qualifiers as hosts, had lost to USA 0-8 in the opening match on Tuesday. They take on Brazil in their last group match on October 17, which will only be of academic interest. Morroco still remained in contention for a quarterfinal berth with three points after title contenders Brazil and USA played out a 1-1 draw in another Group A match here earlier in the day.
Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Friday. Roy Krishna scored inside five minutes to give the Blues an early advantage but Prasanth Karuthadathkuni scored at the stroke of half-time to restore parity.

The 26-year-old gave his hopes of being included in England's World Cup squad a considerable boost with a superb all-round display, capped off by two goals that took his tally to 55 in 100 games in all competitions for Brentford. The Brighton players warmed up in t-shirts dedicated to Zambian team mate Enock Mwepu, whose career came to an abrupt end this week after he was diagnosed with a hereditary heart condition.
The marathon meeting at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium complex, which started around 11 am and lasted till 5 pm, witnessed some ugly scenes when a member of the Haryana state boxing association (HSBA) objected to the presence of IOA treasurer Anandeshwar Panday, who is facing charges of raping a national-level handball player, at the meeting, while apprising Justice Rao of Panday’s alleged sexual misconduct in the past. Similarly, a member of the rival faction raised the issue of an FIR being lodged against Mehta in Uttarakhand’s Gopeshwar township over financial irregularities.
