There has been much talk about Delhi’s lack of fighting spirit in the past few days. Back against the wall, Delhi came with a purpose against FC Goa. Sadly, they had to end up on the losing side again and must be ruing their missed chances after the game.

Delhi coach Josep Gombau handed young Daniel Lalhlimpuia another start and coupled him with Chhangte and Nanda with Adria Carmona behind them. Delhi started with an attacking mindset and got the goal immediately. They kept the pressure on Goa defence and could’ve scored two or three goals more in the first half itself. Delhi were using the set-pieces and counter-attacks more.

In terms of ball possession and passing accuracy, Delhi were on the same level as of Goa. They took more shots than Goa with four of them beiing on target. They created more number of chances but in terms of utilisation, Goa were much ahead. But the fighting spirit was there among the Delhi players and they need to keep that spirit going when they face Bengaluru FC after the international break.
