A clash between two sides languishing at the bottom of the table was never going to be a high-quality affair. Mind you, both teams do have some talented players very well capable of turning things around on their own.

However, not a single one of them managed to impose themselves on the game. The likes of Marcinho, Seiminlen Doungel and Maic Sema were guilty of conceding possession far too easily.

At the other end, Delhi's players were equally inadept in front of goal and across the pitch. Their midfielders, in particular, found it hard to hold on to the ball and were at fault for a number of misplaced passes. You'd be hard-pressed in creating a highlight video for the first half.
