Apart from the goal scored by Daniel Lalhlimpuia, Karanjit remained untested throughout the first half. It was thoroughly dominated by the hosts who kept on piling shots from long range to constantly test the Delhi shot-stopper Francisco Dorronsoro.

The 33-year-old saved an extraordinary freekick to keep Raphael Augusto from entering the score sheet. Had that one went in, the game could have been totally different and the tide could have changed. He was tested early on in the game when Carlos Salom tried to head the ball in the near post, but he punched it away.
In the second half, the Chennaiyin striker forced another save from the keeper when he tried to sneak the ball into the top corner, but Dorronsoro came to Delhi's rescue again. He was largely tested during the first half and had very little to do in the second half.
