East-Bengal suffered a heartbreak in their homecoming as Chennai City FC secured a 2-1 victory to consolidate their lead in the I-League in Kolkata. Chennai's Spanish recruit Sandro Rodriquez Felipe (45+2nd) drew first-blood before Enrique Esqueda drew level seven minutes after the changeover. Chennai's other Spaniard Nestor Gordillo scored the winner, converting from the spot in 87th-minute to halt East Bengal's two-match winning run.
