8:26 PM

Half-time report: Rana Gharami's 45th minute long-distance stunner handed Delhi Dynamos a 1-0 lead at half-time over visitors FC Pune City who haven't been half bad either. The game was evenly poised with both teams having phases in which they dominated. All of that changed minutes before the half-time when Gharami had a look-up at the goal and powered his kick, making the ball rise, dip and end up in the back of the net with the goalkeeper unmoved. Apart from that, the game didn't produce many goalscoring chances with both the teams prefering to build from the back, but unable to jump the final hurdle. Can Pune City mount a comeback? or are there more goals in offing for the home fans? Stay tuned to find out

8:18 PM

Minute 43 (GOAL)!!! -- What a strike by Rana Gharami. And Delhi lead 1-0. Rane Garambni takes a shot from quite a distance and the ball rises and dips and lands in the back of the net. The goalkeeper didn't even move. Great strike!!

8:09 PM

Minute 34 -- (SUBSTITUTION) Delhi make a change: Vinit comes in for Bikramjit who seems to have overexerted himself while taking a pass.

Minute 30 -- Delhi have gradually grown into the game, mostly because of the dominance they have shown in the middle of the park
