Then came the jaw-dropping second half, where Delhi FC continued their attacking gameplay and opened the scoring line in the 58th minute. Samuel Shadap scored an outstanding goal and helped the team take a two-goal lead. But, Garhwal FC decided not to sit back and aimed for a comeback. All thanks to Carlos’ dribbling and Deependra’s sharpshooting, which resulted in Garhwal’s first goal in the 73rd minute.
