Delhi Dynamos scored twice in the second half to notch up a comfortable 2-0 win over FC Goa in an entertaining match of the Hero Indian Super League at the Nehru stadium played on Oct 30, 2016.
After a barren first half, Delhi Dynamos FC scored through substitute Marcelo Leite Pereira (72nd) and Richard Gadze (76th) to take their tally to ten points from seven matches, while FC Goa languish at the bottom of the table.
Desperately looking for their first home win, FC Goa coach made five changes which proved effective as they kept on the pressure on the visitors in the first half and created ample scoring chances but could not get the break through.
The visitors started positively and held the early ball possession but the home team quickly settled down to a rythmn and had the first chance to surge ahead in the 4th minute.
The visitors who relied more on the counter moves did come close to finding the net on few occassion but Richard Gadze, who looked more dangerous whenever he had the ball with him, could not direct his shots on target.
After a goalless first half, the second half was more entertaining as Delhi stepped up the pace and made a series of moves from the right flank but they were thwarted by defender Luciano Sobrosa who played his first match.
The home team nearly scored in the 58th minute when Fernandes sent a high cross into the box for Julio who headed the ball towards the goal for Rafael Coelho but he was late to connect it.
Substitute Marcelo Leite Pereira got the ball in the middle from Santana’s goal kick, made a run on the left and after entering the box essayed a firm left footer that found the far corner of the net in the 72nd minute.
Four minutes later, FC Goa’s citadel again crumbled when Kean Lewis picked up Florent Malouda in the middle. Malouda sent a cross into the box for Marcelo who headed the ball to Richard and the Ghanaian striker found the net with a low shot to take the match away from the home team.
