#4 Delhi Defence and butterfingers are synonymous to each other

NorthEast United FC's attack ran through the Delhi Dynamos like a hot knife through butter. In the initial 15 minutes of the game 'The Highlanders' could have taken a three-goal lead had it not been for the crossbar and some excellent saves by the Delhi goalkeeper Francisco Dorronsoro.

The final nail in the coffin that NEUFC put in was also due to a big blunder by the Delhi Dynamos captain Pritam Kotal.

The Delhi defence, in general, looked at sixes and sevens while defending against Ogbeche, Gallego and Mascia.

It looked like the defence wasn't prepared to deal with someone with the physical presence of Mascia.

Given most of Delhi's foreign recruits in the playing eleven are defenders or defensive minded players it is more surprising to see the state of the defence for the team from the capital.

While Delhi is famous for its forts, its defence is something far away from being called a fort or wall.
