#1 Jamshedpur were surprisingly careless in possession
For a side known to be disciplined in possession, the home side were far too lax in the first half. The usually dependable figures - Souvik Chakrabarti, Memo and Bikash Jairu all gave away the ball far too easily, despite the fact that they were not pressed by Delhi's players.
The outcome of this was Delhi dominated proceedings and dictated play. With 64% possession in the first half, the visitors looked a rejuvenated outfit who were fully intent on disrupting the points table.
Steve Coppell's men were pedestrian and Delhi took full advantage of this situation. Thing's just didn't go as planned for Jamshedpur during the initial stages. They were treated to a blitzkrieg from the visitors. The men in red were made to dig deep.
