Delhi suffer another loss!
Yet another disappointing defeat for Delhi Dynamos FC as their campaign is just refusing to take off. They played a great game of football but didn't have the luck on their side. It all started with Lallianzuala Chhangte's goal in the 24th minute but the visitors immediately conceded when Tim Cahill put in a neat header to equalize. It was locked at 1-1 at the halftime but courtesy a superlative goal by Farukh Choudhary in the 61st minute, Jamshedpur FC got their noses in front. The Dynamos didn't keep quiet after that and created plenty of opportunities. However, they weren't clinical in front of the goal. There was a moment in the 70th minute where Robin Gurung handled the ball inside the box but such is Delhi's fortune that the ref didn't spot it. Right then, a win today for Jamshedpur FC means that they break into the top 4 of the points table for the time being and will head into the break in good spirits.

What a save
Andrija Kaludjerovic dances his way on the left wing. He beats a defender and cuts inside. He then takes a powerful shot with his right foot but Subrata Paul was aware of it and parries it wide of the goal.

Huge chance
Lallianzuala Chhangte shows his skill on the left flank and cuts inside. He then floats in a ball inside the box, Andrija Kaludjerovic goes ahead of the defender and heads it but the ball goes well wide. Delhi need to make these chances count.

Was it a handball?
Marcos Tebar puts in a delightful ball over the top to find Nandhakumar Sekar. The latter controls it nicely and tries to flick it past the defender but hits the hand of the Robin Gurung in the process. The ball then falls to Chhangte who struck it first time with his left foot. Keeper goes to his right and saves it brilliantly. Delhi players appeal for a penalty for the handball but the referee denies. The replay shows he should have given that a penalty. The hosts are lucky.

GOALLLLLLLLL
What a goal by Farukh Choudhary! Top notch. Carlos Calvo floats in a corner inside the box, Albino Gomes punches it wide but the ball falls straight to Memo who puts in a first-time pass inside the box. Marcos Tebar clears it with his head but the ball then finds Farukh Choudhary. The striker lets the ball bounce and smashes it on the half-volley into left top corner. No keeper in the world would have stopped that.

Tackles flying in
There have been some tackles flying in from both the sides. The players need to be careful here, otherwise we could see a red card in the game soon.
47'
Wide of the mark
Carlos Calvo takes a free kick from around 25 yards but it goes just wide of the target. He did not get the curl and direction he wanted. A player of his quality should have at least tested the keeper.

Second half
We are underway for the second half. The home team will get us underway in the second 45. Also a substitution for Delhi. Rana Gharami is replaced by Nandhakumar Sekar. A tactical change may be.
An exciting game of football we witnessed in this half. Both the teams would feel they should have scored more than 1 goal. The visitors were on the front foot from the start when Adria Carmona hit a banger but his shot found the woodwork. Lallianzuala Chhangte opened the scoring for Delhi and gave them a deserving lead in the 24th minute. But a few minutes later, Tim Cahill, the talisman for Jamshedpur, got the equalizer for the home team with a brilliant header. There were chances flying in for both the sides but none resulted in any more goal. It will be interesting to see how the second 45 pans out. Do join us in a bit.

Narayan Das goes in the referee's book for a touch on Carlos Calvo face. The latter falls down and the referee did not hesitate to give him a yellow card for that.

Jamshedpur FC have equalized and it's the talisman Tim Cahill has scored it. Carlos Calvo takes a short corner and plays it to Memo who in turn passes it back. After that, Calvo swings it inside the box and Tim Cahill heads it into the back of the net. What a game we have on the cards now!

Lallianzuala Chhangte opens the scoring for Delhi Dynamos. Narayan Das on the left flank releases Rene Mihelic with a good ball inside the box. The latter then squares it, the cross takes a slight deflection off Mario Arques. The ball falls straight to Lallianzuala Chhangte who hits it with his left foot. Did not get the best of connections but still it goes wide of the keeper to find the back of the net.

Cleared away
Farukh Choudhary finds some space on the right flank. He then puts a low drilled cross inside the box to find Tim Cahill but the striker could not reach to the cross. Mohammad Dhot then clears the danger.
Early change for Delhi. Adria Carmona is being replaced by Marti Crespi. Looks like the former has a slight groin injury.

Just wide

Woodwork!
What a hit that was! Unlucky for Adria Carmona that it hits the crossbar. Good one-touch play between Rene Mihelic and Carmona just outside the box. The latter then hits it first time with his left foot. Subrata Paul has no chance of saving it but the crossbar comes to his rescue. What a start to the game!

Time running out for Delhi
Hello and welcome to Match 55 between Jamshedpur FC and Delhi Dynamos FC. The home team is staring down the barrel after not winning a single game so far this season. Although they have shown improvement recently to end their goalless streak of 3 matches as the Dynamos regained their goal-scoring form and now would look to materialize that into a winning performance. Another worrying part for them is that they have conceded 18 goals this season, in which, 15 have come in the second half. Coming to the home team, they would like to get back to winning ways after drawing their last couple of games. Their campaign this year has seen a number of draws and now they would hope to start gaining three points on a consistent basis. Calvo and Soosairaj have taken the responsibility on their shoulders and have scored well in Cido's absence. Should be a cracking game of football. Do join us in a bit.
