ISL 2018-19: Bengaluru FC 1-0 Delhi Dynamos – 5 talking points

#4 Delhi's trend of conceding late goals continues

Udanta Singh was the solitary goalscorer of the match

Had Delhi not conceded so many late goals in the ISL, they would have been easily in the upper half of the table. However, such is not the case and the Lions keep on conceding late.

It is an astonishing statistic that Bengaluru did not even have a shot on target in the first half.

Zilverloon and co. did a fantastic job in keeping the Bengaluru players at bay for most of the match. Despite a few errors, they were spot on. Finally, it was Udanta who broke the deadlock.

The substitution of Paartalu in place of Rino in the 49th minute allowed freedom for Xisco. This changed the entire scenario of the game and it became more open for Bengaluru.

The Lions are the side who have conceded most goals (55%) after the 75th minute. Their tendency to concede late goals continued.

Udanta Singh scored a great goal (his first of the season) after a haphazard initial build-up. The Mizoram-born players' shot took a slight (wicked) deflection off the boot of Marti Crespi and took it away from Albino. When things are not going your way they all don't.

Delhi were leading 2-1 in their match against Jamshedpur FC but it eventually ended in a 2-2 draw. The Lions conceded two late goals in their match against NorthEast United. Similar was the case when Goa made a spectacular 3-2 comeback. Delhi only have themselves to blame for the situation they are in.

It keeps getting worse and worse Josep and his troops as the opportunities they have missed cost them nearly. In their first match of the ISL season 5 campaign, Delhi had conceded a goal in the 88th minute against FC Pune City and the match ended in a 1-1 draw. Then again the Lions conceded in the 84th minute to lose the match against ATK 2-1.
