Although both sides attempted to break the deadlock, neither were able to enjoy or exhibit one attack that got everyone off their chairs. In the first half, a long-range effort from Lenny Rodrigues was the only shot on target. And that too, was straight into the gloves of Delhi's Dorronsoro.

As far as the hosts were concerned, they took too much time on the ball while circulating it forward. The wingers did complete take-ons, but none of them had an end product to show for it. Goa's high press system forced Josep Gombau's side into long balls and consequentially, they couldn't keep hold of it for long spans of the match.

Goa had a lot of attempts on goal, but poor finishing and most of the times, a poor final ball led to their frustration. It is safe to say that they were far from their best.
