8:25 PM

Half-time report: The net of the goal posts at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi are yet to bugle with neither Delhi Dynamos FC nor Chennaiyin FC able to score a goal in the first half. 

 

The home team might feel more aggravated since they had the better chances to break the deadlock. The best chance though came seconds before the half-time whistle when Chhangte put in a fine cross for Kaludjerovic who was unmarked, but the striker's powerful header was straight at the hands of a great Karanjit.

 

Except for a couple more good chances, Delhi haven't done much in terms of creating chances, neither have Chennai although the gameplay hasn't been as bad as the scoreline would suggest. Both teams are missing teeth upfront. A few substitutions and the ticking time in the second half might bring in some urgency in the players. For now, there's not much to report
