Chennaiyn FC could not have asked for a better way to celebrate Amitabh Bachchan's brithday who is father of co-owner Abhishek Bachchan. On the other hand, FC Goa head coach Zico said we had a bad day at the office. "We played well against Delhi Dynamos and Atletico de Kolkata but some how the palyers did not click today.They collapsed today. We will forget this loss in a hurry as we have bigger challenges,"a dejected Zico said, adding: “We lost the match because we gave Chennaiyn FC too much space in the opening minutes of the first half and that is when they punished us.” “We were the better team in the opening session but our players failed to convert the chances. However in football goals win you games it is as simple as that,” Zico added .
