ISL 2015: Delhi Dynamos 2-3 FC Goa - 5 talking points
FC Goa overcame a 2-0 deficit to produce a thrilling 3-2 comeback win against Delhi Dynamos. The Gaurs went 2-0 down in the first half, as goals from Greene and Nabi put Delhi in the lead. Substitute Romeo Fernandes scored two quickfire goals to equalise, while Joffre scored the winner in the final few minutes, taking FC Goa to the top of the table, while the Dynamos lost their unbeaten home record to finish 4th.The result ensures the teams will face off again twice over the next 10 days. While the first leg will be played out here, the second would take place in Fatorda, Goa. Irrespective of the result, Delhi will finish their campaign where they started. Carlos & Co would be hoping though that the return leg is their penultimate fixture and not the final one this season.Here are five of the major talking points:
#1 Delhis patient build up could prove risky in the semi finals against Goa
Over the course of the tournament, Delhi Dynamos always seem to take a little more time when building up their attack. If you do argue that they are much more effective this way, you’d probably be right to an extent. In Robin Singh, Delhi have an imposing striker as a reference point. The twenty five year old does extremely well to hold play up and involve his team mates while going forward.
But this approach at times backfired. They commit six to seven players when probing forward and as a consequence their defenders are left exposed. Quality teams have picked them apart on the counterattack with ease. Goa proved this tonight as they opened up Delhi’s defense from a counter attack for their second goal.
