The game ends in favor of the away Delhi side who impressed throughout with their attacking play as the left-wing duo of Sena Ralte and Lallianzuala Chhangte running riot on the Pune defense. The match was a game of two halves as, after a goalless first half, the second half came to life. Delhi scored 3 quick goals as Pune mounted a comeback but it came too late as they were left chasing the game on the night.
90+4' - PUNE SCORE!! After the free-kick fails, Romeo goes on the clear but loses the ball. Marcelinho gets it on the right wing and cuts in the box and slots in a cross across the face of the goal where Tebar is left with just a simple tap-in to make it 3-2.
90+3' - Pune win a free-kick just outside the box as Lumu handles the ball after the ball is cleared off a Marcelo free-kick from the right. Chance for Pune to grab a consolation goal at the end.
92' - Delhi are keeping the ball in possession as they aim to run down the clock with the two-goal advantage to their name as Pune meet their fate with just 3 minutes of play left to go.
72' - CHANCE!! Uche comes close to scoring as he fails to keep the header down after a great cross from the left by Mirabaje. Uche totally skied the ball over and expresses his frustration at the missed opportunity to perhaps kill the game then and there.
67' - PUNE SCORE!!! Alfaro pulls one back for Pune as he receives the ball with the goal to his back and turns superbly and pulls the trigger to score past the diving Albino Gomes. The game has come to life here!! Can Pune mount a comeback ??
65' - AND THAT IS THREE!! Mirabaje scores a stunning strike after creating space for himself at the top of the box and unleashes a shot that heads for the top left corner. Delhi have totally taken over with 3 goals in the first 20 minutes of the first half.
57' - SAVE!! Delhi almost have their third as Diaz's cross from the right after a lay-off is met by Mirabaje who rose the highest but it falls straight into the keeper's hands and Pune escape.
53' - DELHI STRIKE AGAIN!! Chhangte grabs a much-deserved goal as the 20-year old youngster unleashes after a loose play from the Pune defense results in the ball falling to the winger. The keeper Kamaljit rushed out and almost destabilized Chhangte but the feisty Mizo winger lifts it over into the goal to get the second for the away side.
52' - Alfaro takes a shot after darting in from the midfield but it is not a clean strike and drifts away from the Delhi goal to the right side; out for a goal-kick.
49 ' - Another Chance for Delhi. Mirabaje's chance takes a deflection that goes just over the Pune goal as Delhi have begun on a strong note in the second half. Time for the home side to pick up their game.
46' - GOOOAALL!! The first attack comes to fruition as Chhangte and Sena Ralte combine on the left wing as Delhi take the lead through Paulinho's header. The Brazilian headed the ball with fierce power and Singh was no match for it in the goal. Great start from the side from the capital.
45' - The second half action is up and running as the home side get things rolling in Pune with both sides looking to get the advantage as they tussle to break the deadlock on the night.
An uneventful half of game comes to an end here as the sides head goalless into the break. Pune have struggled to get going but have created the better chances so far in the match. Delhi Dynamos, despite being dominant on the ball haven't troubled Kamaljit Singh in the Pune goal. Alfaro and Marcelinho have been kept pretty much quiet by the Delhi defense. Can Pune take control in the second half? Stay tuned as we bring all the live action from the second half right here at Sportskeeda!
