This was a match of two halves in every sense. The first half was arguably the most boring 45 minutes of football you'd have witnessed. Delhi Dynamos then scored three within 20 minutes, much to the shock of Pune, who were left stunned.

While they did get two back, the damage had already been done. Delhi came at Pune who, had no idea what at hit them. Before they could recover from the first goal, the capital side came back to score a second and then a third.

Delhi were on a rampage and Pune did nothing to stop the onslaught. Simply put, the home side failed to up their intensity and tempo, paying a heavy price for it. The Dynamos made most of it, they sensed Pune were slacking and put them to the sword.
