AFC Cup: Adolfo Araujo Fito's late equaliser sees Chennai City FC hold Maziya S&RC to 2-2 draw

Chennai: A 90th-minute strike by Adolfo Araujo Fito helped Chennai City FC salvage a 2-2 draw with Maziya S&RC from Maldives in an AFC Cup Group ‘E’ first leg match on Wednesday. Spanish forward Fito, who scored both the goals, ensured that the 2018-19 I-League champions go into the return leg in Maldives on an even keel. Chennai’s second goal came after a flurry of chances were created by the team as Fito shot home from the right side of the six-yard box, leaving the Maziya goalkeeper with no chance. Fito had earlier scored in the 11th minute to put the home side ahead in a rather scrappy contest.

Trailing by a goal at half time, the team from the Maldives bounced back strongly with two strikes in the space of three minutes. Mohammed Irufaan equalised for Maziya with a header from a pass from Mohammed Hamza in the 64th minute. Ibrahim Mahudhee Hussain put the islanders ahead in the 67th minute with a right-footed strike. The first half was a tepid affair after promising a lot of action following a save by the CCFC goalie from a long-ranger by Maziya’s Cornelius Stewart. The visiting side appeared to be having the better of the exchanges when CCFC scored against the run of play in the 11th minute. Adolfo Araujo Fito latched on to a pass from Ajith Kumar Kamaraj and after a couple of touches, shot from a difficult angle to the bottom left corner amid cheer from the local team’s fans. Chennai City will travel to Maldives to play Maziya in the second leg on 27 May.
