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

#3 Chhetri kept quiet in his 150th appearance for the club

Sunil Chhetri would have liked to score on his 150th appearance for his club but he did not get the opportunity.

It was an extremely special game for Sunil Chhetri as he was making his 150th appearance for the club. Even though the Fortress was not as packed as Bengaluru would have liked, those present made the occasion memorable by making a lot of noise. Bengaluru's talisman Chhetri was even given a piece of memorabilia in the pre-match presentation for his outstanding contribution to the club.

It's taken him a little more than five years to get there, and here's how 150 games in BFC Blue have played out for our talisman and skipper @chetrisunil11. #BENDEL #Chhetri150 pic.twitter.com/svYAoFio5K

However, Delhi's right-back Pritam Kotal kept his fellow countryman in check throughout the match and ensured that Chhetri does not find the space. Even the ball distribution in the final third was forgettable for Bengaluru FC and the rest of the players failed to provide their skipper with the requisite delivery.

Delhi were the dominant side at end of the first half. Yes, many would have expected a one-sided contest with Bengaluru having the upper hand but it was on the contrary.

Had Miku been fit for the match, it would have been an entirely different story. Zilverloon was also poised at the back for Delhi and ensured Chhetri does not have any free pass.
