Luka Majcen produced a goal in the last minute of the added time to help Churchill Brothers down Chennai City FC (CCFC) 2-1 in the I-League on Thursday. The Slovenian forward scored both the goals for Churchill while Serbian Elvedin Skrijelj netted CCFC’s only goal.

CCFC regrouped well to find the equaliser in the 64th minute when Elvedin Skrijelj converted a penalty, which was awarded after Churchill defender Hamza Kheir handled a shot from Ranjeet Pandre.

CCFC had a golden opportunity to take the lead in the 67th minute when Demir Avdic made it into the Churchill box, latching on to a pass from Vladimir Molerovic. The Serbian forward messed up in the end sending his attempt over an open goal.
