CHANDIGARH, June 10: The city football fans residing in Sector 29 were disappointed as they were unable to witness the opening match between Brazil and Scotland last night due to electricity failure in the area. Whereas the fans kept on calling their close friends and relatives to know the outcome of the match, the electricity department could barely do anything to help them.

Another footballer, living in the same area said, 8220;I have to call up my friend to know the score.8221;
