Here are the hits and flops from this match.

HITS

Robin Singh (Delhi Dynamos FC):- Robin Singh came as a saviour for Delhi Dynamos in this match. He came on the field in the 69th minute in place of Seminlen Doungel. The Indian striker was in his element best in this game. His accurate header at the top centre of the goal in 79th minute of the match was was saved by Mumbai’s goalie Subrata Pal. His efforts were rewarded as he scored the match saving goal in 90+4th minute.

Selim Benachour (Mumbai City FC):- Benachour performed outstandingly well in this match. It was his first ISL game and he made a great impact. He made an assist through a perfect through-ball to his teammate Piquionne, who netted the ball successfully. Benachour also made some perfect pass to his fellow players, which would have proved dangerous for the home team if the finishing would have been better.

FLOPS

Zodingliana Ralte (Delhi Dynamos FC):- The young Indian defender struggled in this match. His lack of experience was exposed as he allowed Piquionne to score the goal easily. He needs to learn from his mistakes soon.

Lalchhuan Mawia (Mumbai City FC):- Lalchhuan Mawia was looking out of touch this night. He was shown a yellow card for an unnecessary and bad foul in the 53rd minute. He failed to clear Malouda’s free-kick in the final minute of the match and made easier for Robin Singh to score the equaliser.
