The first half did not produce much clear cut scoring opportunities and both the teams failed to break the deadlock. Adria Carmona and Harmonjot Khabra were shown yellow cards for bad fouls.

In the second half of the match, Erik Paartalu replaced Rino Anto for Bengaluru FC. Haokip also came in place of Chencho for the home side. Bengaluru FC tried to pull some pressure on Delhi Dyanamos to break the deadlock .On the other hand, Delhi Dyanamos are not having any prolific goalscorer and their hope for this season is almost over. That’s why there were no urgency from the away side to take the lead in this match. Udanta Singh took the advantage of this situation and his late strike at the 87th minute of the match was enough for Bengaluru FC to secure another 3 important points from this match.
