Pune: Delhi Dynamos FC scored a resounding 3-1 victory against ten-man FC Pune City in a Hero Indian Super League clash at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex here on Sunday.
Lallianzuala Chhangte (17th minute) gave Delhi the lead before a solo strike by Nikhil Poojary (23rd) brought Pune level.
Romeo Fernandes’ deflected effort (29th) and Daniel Lalhlimpuia’s second-half strike (52nd) sealed the points for the hosts.
Delhi and Pune remain eighth and seventh on the table respectively with one more game left in the season. Josep Gombau’s men have taken their tally to 18 points.
Pune searched for an early breakthrough and had the Delhi backline in trouble twice in the first 10 minutes.
In the 17th minute, a throw-in from the right flank helped the visitors carve their opponents open, as Daniel released Romeo down the right. The winger delivered an excellent cross into the centre where Chhangte slammed the ball into the net.
A moment of individual brilliance allowed Pune to equalise in the 23rd minute. Nikhil cut in from the right flank and curled a delightful shot into the top right corner of the net to draw level. Delhi regained their lead in the 30th minute and scored in the 52nd minute again to make it 3-1.
Things turned from bad to worse for hosts Pune as Marcelinho picked up a second yellow card and was sent-off in the 90th minute. (PTI)
