Roberto Carlos in an interview on Wednesday said that the stadium in Delhi is huge and he wants supporters to come down there and cheer for the team loud. That is what 19, 453 Delhiites did on Thursday and in result Delhi Dynamos registered their first win in the Indian Super league (ISl) with a 1-0 win over Chennaiyin FC.
Dynamos deadlock was broken in the 8th minute when Brazilian Gustavo’s quick pace saw him helpless Chennaiyin defenders from left side and his cut back pass then found Hans Mulder at the edge of box whose shot came off Blasi’s arm, and then it was easy for the referee to give the penalty to the home team. Anderson Sebastiao Cardoso then slotted the ball to back of the net past Cameroon goalkeeper Edel Bete giving Dynamos 1-0 lead.
Roberto Carlos made two changes to the side that was beaten 2-0 by FC Goa as Anwar Ali and Vinicius were replaced by Anas Edathodika and Gustavo Dos Santos. While for Chennaiyin FC, Marco-Materazzi came back after serving one match suspension. Star striker Fikru Teferra was on bench. Bernard Mendy, Stiven Mendoza and Balwant Singh were changes for Chennaiyin.
Visitor’s best chance came in the 32nd minute when Elano’s free-kick confused Delhi’s defense and John Steven Mendoza had a clear sight of goal only to his shot being blocked by brilliant diving tackle from John Arne Riise.
