Ahead of the game, Dynamos' coach Miguel Angel Portugal slammed his players for their failure to execute their game plans properly.

Delhi's players though looked like they hadn't paid heed to what their coach had been saying. The first 20 minutes was literally a game of 'who can pass the ball straight to the opponent more times' between the two sides and the Dynamos emerged winners, ultimately contributing to their own misfortune.

They gave away the ball cheaply one too many times, that too so close to their box that eventually they were made to pay by Narzary and Marcinho. Also, for that Marcinho goal, Delhi had four defenders in the box, but no one was marking the Brazilian. Shocking defending that would have definitely not pleased Portugal.

The second goal also came from a mistake, an even more appalling one. Take away those errors and Delhi could have gotten something from this game.
