ISL | SC Delhi and Inter Kashi play out a goalless draw

Sporting Club Delhi and Inter Kashi shared the spoils after a goalless draw in their Indian Super League clash at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Sunday.

While Inter Kashi created the better chances, both teams were unable to find the net in a battle defined by resolute defending. SC Delhi goalkeeper Nora Fernandes was the standout player with six saves.

With this result, Inter Kashi moved up to ninth spot with 13 points from 12 matches. SC Delhi, which has 11 points from the same number of games, remains at 11th.

Inter Kashi showed early attacking intent and tested the host’s defence within the opening minutes. Rohit Danu forced a save from Fernandes with a long-range effort, while both winger Mohammed Asif and striker Seiminlen Doungel came close to breaking the deadlock.

SC Delhi, however, remained organised at the back. For the side from the national capital, creating clear openings in the final third proved to be a struggle.

Inter Kashi appeared to have edged ahead when Alfred Planas found the net in the 37th minute, but the Spaniard was adjudged to be offside.

SC Delhi rang in three changes at the start of the second half in an endeavour to show more urgency. It enjoyed a bright spell early in the second period, with Augustine Lalrochana coming close with a left-footed effort that drifted just wide.

In the end, with neither team engendering a decisive opportunity, the draw was a just result.

The result: Sporting Club Delhi 0 drew with Inter Kashi 0.
