ISL 2016 semi-final: Delhi Dynamos FC 2 (2) - 1(5) Kerala Blasters FC - 5 talking points

Kerala Blasters Delhi Dynamos
Kerala Blasters make it all the way to the final

#2 A first half full of twists and turns

Sandip Nandy
Sandip Nandy had a tough time in the middle

Kerala Blasters came into this match having scored just four away goals this season. So when Duckens Nazon pulled one back for the visitors, you knew something was brewing. The Haitian danced his way past two players before unleashing a venomous shot with his right foot. His goal was sandwiched between two glaring errors by Blasters keeper, Sandip Nandy. Both the goals that Delhi scored in the first half, came as a result of Nandy coming out of his line at the wrong time.

Standing at 5ft 11 inches, the Indian is by no means an imposing figure for a goalkeeper. Delhi made the most of it, their towering defenders surrounded him during set piece situations. You’d have thought he would have learnt after his first mistake, which led to the opening goal. But once again, he was caught flapping, trying to deal with an aerial ball. His error gave Delhi a crucial 2-1 lead heading into the second half.
