Delhi Dynamos had a good amount of possession in the first half, but both the teams failed to convert the chances they got. The second half was a high-scoring affair, with 5 goals being scored.

Marcelinho was one of the players to watch out for, but the Brazilian was tightly marked by the Delhi defence. It was the young Lallianzuala Chhangte, who stole the show on the night.

FC Pune City

Kamaljit Singh - 6/10: Kamaljit made some good saves but was helpless in all three Delhi goals. The Indian keeper collected the crosses well, and punched the ball away in set pieces.
