NorthEast United edge out Delhi Dynamos, eye ISL semis spot

NorthEast United FC warmed up for their do-or-die battle ahead with an encouraging 2-1 victory over Delhi Dynamos in their penultimate Indian Super League clash at Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, Guwahati, on Wednesday. Seityasen Singh (60th minute) and N'Dri Romaric (71st minute) got the goals the hosts needed after a barren first session. Even though Marcelinho Pereira pulled a goal back for Delhi in the second minute of added time, NorthEast United were comfortably home. The win took NorthEast United's points tally to 18 with a match in hand but they still continue to be placed fifth. Fortunately for them, they have a match in hand against Kerala Blasters (19 points) and can qualify if they can put it across their rivals for the fourth semifinal spot in Kochi on Sunday. Kerala Blasters will qualify with a draw. (Video and image courtesy ISL)
