In a glorious display of skill and determination, Delhi FC lit up the Namdhari Sports Complex Stadium with a mesmerizing goal fest, securing their first three points of the I- I-League with a thrilling 4-3 victory over a determined Rajasthan United side.

From the very beginning of the game, Delhi FC displayed an unwavering hunger for victory. Having drawn their first game, they were eager to seize all three points from their second home game, while their opponents, Rajasthan United, were desperate for a win after a disappointing opening match. 

This set the stage for an enthralling contest leaving spectators on the edge of their seats.

Right from the opening whistle, Delhi FC exhibited their intent to dominate the encounter. It took them no time at all to break the deadlock, with Aroldo finding the net early on in the 4th minute and giving Delhi FC a precious lead. 

However, Rajasthan United quickly marshaled their forces and equalized in the 14th minute, signaling their determination to challenge their spirited rivals.

Undeterred by Rajasthan’s reply, Delhi FC surged forward with renewed vigor. Their relentless pursuit of victory paid off when Gurtej scored a marvelous goal in the 34th minute, pushing Delhi FC back into the lead. 

As the half-time whistle loomed, Aroldo demonstrated his brilliance once again, finding the net with an exquisite finish at the 44th minute. The score now stood at 3-1 in Delhi FC’s favor, providing them with a much-needed cushion as the players retreated to the dressing rooms.

The second half promised even more excitement, with Delhi FC refusing to rest on their laurels.
