ISL 2018-19: Late Carlos goal gives FC Pune City draw against Delhi Dynamos

Delhi players might be dissapointed with the result, having taken a lead in the first half and creating multiple chances for themselves to increase that lead but failing to capitalise on them

8:39 PM

Minute 47 -- Mihelic nearly sneaks in a goal directly from corner but it flies out just a little bit over the goal-line

8:38 PM

Minute 46 -- Delhi have started strongly in the second half and if not for some fine defending by Pune, they'd have deasily doubled their lead by now

8:35 PM

Second half begins!

8:27 PM

8:26 PM

Half-time report: Rana Gharami's 45th minute long-distance stunner handed Delhi Dynamos a 1-0 lead at half-time over visitors FC Pune City who haven't been half bad either. The game was evenly poised with both teams having phases in which they dominated. All of that changed minutes before the half-time when Gharami had a look-up at the goal and powered his kick, making the ball rise, dip and end up in the back of the net with the goalkeeper unmoved. Apart from that, the game didn't produce many goalscoring chances with both the teams prefering to build from the back, but unable to jump the final hurdle. Can Pune City mount a comeback? or are there more goals in offing for the home fans? Stay tuned to find out
