Delhi climb to second spot as Gadze scores a late winner
Richard Gadze's dramatic late winner provided Delhi Dynamos FC with a 1-0 win over Kerala Blasters FC. This win, third in a row for the Dynamos, puts them second in the table and on par on points with league leaders, FC Pune City.
Both the teams played out an eventful first half and ended the half tied at 0-0. But Delhi Dynamos produced a much improved performance in the second half and deservedly won three full points.
Despite creating a host of chances in the last 30 minutes of normal time, Roberto Carlos' men failed to find the back of the net, until Richard Gadze came on the pitch. The Ghanian forward scored the winner in the 86th minute of the match as Florent Malouda picked him out with an inch-perfect cross from the right wing. Gadze jumped above his marker and glanced it towards the far post, as Blasters goalie, Stephen Bywater watched on helplessly.
The match ended 1-0 in favour of the visitors and this was their third win on the bounce. These three points now takes them up to second in the league table, with FC Pune City edging them out on goal difference.
