ATK end Delhi's unbeaten run
The goals were kept for the second half and it didn't disappoint. A late winner from Ankit Mukherjee has ensured that ATK end Delhi's 6-game unbeaten run. After heading into the break goalless, ATK played with more stature in the last 45. They got their reward when Kotal's ball was headed home by Garcia. The visitors never sat back and got the equalizer from their substitute, Nandhakumar Sekar. Just as we thought the game would end all even, Garcia's lovely cross found Ankit who slotted home the winner, his first in the ISL. Delhi couldn't find an equalizer post that which meant their unbeaten streak was broken. There were half chances for both teams in the middle but none got converted.

GOOAALLLL!!!
ATK take the lead back. Another substitute, Ankit Mukherjee gets on the scoresheet. Edu Garcia from the left crosses the ball to the feet of Ankit. The Indian sees the keeper coming out and just places the ball past him. The ball goes into the back of the net. What a way to score your first ISL goal. Is this the winner? Or do we have more drama left?

End of first 45
We are how we started. Goalless. The edge should be given to Delhi. They held the ball and were passing it with more intent. No real chances in the game. ATK started sharply but failed to score. Delhi caught them on the counter a couple of times but the visitors too didn't find the back of the net. There were two penalties appeals not given, which on another day could have been given. ATK will look to continue their unbeaten run of 7 games. Be with us for the second half.

All Delhi

Overcooked
Narayan Das takes too much time in hoofing the ball up and Thatal makes full use of it. Looks to hang one ball at the far post but overcooks it.
20'
Not too far
Komal Thatal receives the ball in the center and decides to go for goal himself. He takes a touch but fires it far above the near post. Not a million miles away. Decent effort from the youngster.

Good play
Firstly, Narayan Das shows composure with the ball. He side passes it to the Mexican, Ulises Davila. The latter tries floating the ball towards goal for Chhangte but the keeper comes out and collects the ball.

Volley
Delhi come close to scoring. Adria Carmona chips in a lovely ball to Romeo Fernandes on the right. The winger lines up and connects his volley. He just got his shin in the way which forced the shot to go inches away from the far post.

Cross
Delhi making things happen from the wide areas. This time from the right. Romeo Fernandes looks to whip in an early ball to the box but gives it close to the keeper.
7'
Cannot keep it in
Delhi catch ATK on the counter. They play the ball forward down the left to Chhangte. The latter hares towards the ball but just couldn't keep it in. He would have been in a promising situation if that was in.
4'
Free kick
Edu Garcia takes a free kick from a dangerous position. He floats it to John Johnson on the right. Just like a well-planned move. The ATK defender looks to head it back to the box but it comes back to him. He later hits the side netting but it wouldn't count as he was adjudged offside.

Final league game!
90 games! The fate as to who will be the 4 semi finalists has been decided. And yes, we are into the last of the league games of this edition of the Indian Super League. Hello and a good evening to all. Super Sunday today and we have two-time champions ATK take on the team from the capital city, Delhi Dynamos FC. It has been a sorry season for both the clubs. They are lying in the lower half of the table and have just not got going. Delhi have had a superb late run to this season. They are unbeaten in their last 6 games, winning 4 of them. If they win or draw this match against ATK, it will take them to a 7-match unbeaten run, which will be their longest unbeaten run in a single ISL season. This, however, has come too late for them in terms of qualifying but they will look to end on a bright note, especially on the road where they have not been at their best. ATK, on the other hand, have scored the lowest goals this year. They are coming into this game with back-to-back losses and will look to change that reading. A lack of a prolific striker has cost them dearly. They, though, have a chance to climb to 6th place in the table if they grab a win. Should be an interesting game, keeping in mind both won't been seen till next season. Strap in for all the action.
