(Hello and welcome to our Live Blog of the 1st leg of semifinal 1 between Delhi Dynamos and FC Goa at Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium. Stay tuned for all the latest updates.)
Brief Preview:
Delhi Dynamos and FC Goa will go head to head once again this season and this time it will be for a place in the finals of the second season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here will host the first leg of the first semi-final on Friday with Zico’s side, FC Goa, holds a psychological edge over Roberto Carlos' Dynamos having beaten Delhi twice in the league stage.
Goa, who lost in the semi-finals last season on penalties finished the league phase in top spot, while Delhi saw themselves drop to fourth following the defeat to Goa in the final game of the group stage. In a thrilling encounter, Goa came back from 2-0 down to win the match 3-2. In the process they became the first ISL side to overcome a two-goal deficit to win.
Dynamos have scored the least number of goals (18) among the four semi-finalists but Carlos has built the team primarily on tactical discipline and organisation.
