Delhi Dynamos FC v NorthEast United FC

Delhi Dynamos FC welcomed NorthEast United FC in a Hero Indian Super League (ISL) encounter at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Delhi today.

The match turned out to be an entertaining end-to-end game with lot of pace and one-against-one action. But the competitive match didn’t produce any goals in the first half despite various attempts on both sides.

Former Denmark international Mads Junker had the best chance of the second half, when his back heel shot off a Alessandro Del Piero pass hit the post.

But both teams had to settle for a goalless draw in front of a great crowd in Delhi.
