93' A word for Alfaro, the man doesn't stop running. He is a threat even now, making diagonal runs from in to out.
90' What an effort by Malouda. Who hits the volley first time, but put off by the on-rushing NorthEast players.
89' Gadzi with a chance to cross the ball, but he shins it and goes behind for a goal-kick. He has had a very frustrating night.
87' Lovely play by Memo there, passes it to Kean Lewis, who earns a freekick. But the ball in was easily cleared by Zakora.
84' Memo with another chance, he gets a free header from a corner by Malouda.
83' Tha game has just petered out, think the Delhi weather is finally getting to the players.
81' Nico Velez coming off for Cullen, the new signing for NorthEast United.
79' Marcelinho with another hit, the ball bounces and hits the chest of Subrata, who comes and collects soon after.
78' Ruben runs into Alfaro unceremoniously, who gets up and gets on with it. He is on a yellow.
75' A thunderbolt by Marcelino, but the ball just goes wide. Subrata looked worried there.
73' Lovely ball carrying by Narzary, but ran out of steam at the end.
70' Lovely play by Marcelinho, who goes outside and squares the ball for Gadze, but he can't divert it goalwards.
68' Doblas tried to be cute there, and Alfaro picked his pocket. Lucky for him the ball went out.
67' Souvik picks out a lovely ball for Malouda on the left, but his cutback was in no man's land.
66' Malouda comes on for Marcos Tebar.
65' Kean Lewis checks in and shoots, but he doesn't get the power he would have desired, easy for Subrata.
63' The game is still edge of the seat stuff from the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium.
61' Chance for Alfaro, great ball by Yusa, who takes it wide and tries to slot it him, but a brilliant tackle by Ruben Rocha.
56' Chance! Chance! Chance! What a game. That was a huge opportunity, for Holicharan Narzary who shoots over the bar.
55' Lovely ball by Momo, in behind the defence again. Gadze couldn't finish again, disappointing hits the goalkeepers legs.
51' Poor defending Khonsham at the wings, Velez who picked his pocket squares it to Alfaro whose first shot was blocked, but he buried the rebound.
48' What a chance, what a save by Subrata paul. He redeemed himself there, the ball was slipped in behind the NorthEast defence there, and Gadze shoots straight at the goalkeeper.
47' Freekick of NorthEast, Yusa takes it, and Alfaro's flick is blocked.
46' Narzary and Velez have switched sides, Velez playing from the right now.
45' We kick off for the second half. Katsumi with another clumsy challenge already.
Zambrotta made some tasty promises I tell you. If this happens, I will put a statue of him in my room.
Here's our exclusive interview with Real Madrid youth graduate, Marcos Tebar.
HT: What a game of football. This is the perfect advertisement for the Indian Super League, end to end, exciting and crazy. NorthEast had the better opportunities to score in the first half, but they fluffed their lines. Delhi scored against the run of play, via a mistake by Subrata Paul. The duo of Kean Lewis and Marcelinho were especially good for Delhi.
45' What a minute of play. Delhi were attacking, NorthEast recover the ball at the edge of their own box, Romaric picks a lovely pass for Narzary, who crosses brilliantly into the back post. Alfaro heads it, Ruben clears it from the goalline.
44' Nelo Vingada will be very unhappy with his forwards, and his goalkeeper. They had the better opportunities too score.
41' Romaric with a lovely corner, straight at Doblas who parries it behind for a corner.
40' A clinical handball by Ruben Rocha, and the NorthEast players circle the referee asking for a yellow card.
38' A howler from Subrata Paul, he let the ball go completely through him. Take nothing away from Lewis though, his first touch was good, and the second (with which he scored the goal) better.
35' Gadzi goes past Romaric, who unceremoniously brings down. Yellow card for Romaric, and Zakora is also given a yellow for his protests.
34' Katsumi Yusa has to be very very careful, he had a couple of poor tackles after picking up the yellow.
What an entertaining game of football so far, bot sides with a host of chances. The Delhi temperature doesn't seem to have affected the players at all.
32' Velez goes for a curler from thirty yards, just wide, what an effort that was.
31' What a ball by Marcelinho with the outside of his boot, just in behind the NorthEast defence. Gadze is just off, close for Delhi.
28' Zambrotta doesn't look happy, not happy at all.
27' Delhi Dynamos need to steady the ship, they've been under constant pressure for the last few minutes.
25' WHAT A CHANCE by Alfaro. Terrible mistake by the Delhi defence, Velez squares it off to his partner, who hardly makes any connection with a gaping goal.
24' What an effort by Katsumi Yusa, his shot goes just wide of the far post.
23' Alfaro with an audacious volley, but it was blocked by Kima, who had his hands down by his side.
21' Naught naughty by Doblas, the whistle had gone for offside, but he brought Alfaro down (who hadn't heard the whistle).
