Delhi Dynamos suffered a shock 3-4 defeat at the hands of Pune City FC in a thrilling match but still maintained their top spot at the points table in the Indian Super League football in Pune on Friday.
Delhi took the lead through Kean Lewis (44th minute) but Pune turned the match around in second session with goals from Anibal Rodriguez (55th and 63rd), Mohammed Sissoko (62nd) and Lenny Rodrigues (90th).
An own goal from Pune’s Eduardo Ferreira (79th) and Malsawmzuala's strike in the injury time kept Delhi in the hunt till the very end before losing the match at Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex Stadium at Balewadi.
This was Delhi's second defeat this season and it has ended their five-match unbeaten streak.
The victory took Pune to the fourth spot from earlier sixth with 15 points from 11 matches, just two less than Delhi who could have virtually sealed their place in the play-offs with three points.
Chennaiyin FC and Atletico de Kolkata, both out of the top four now, can move on top with victories on Saturday, while NorthEast United FC (11 points) and FC Goa (11 points) are still in the competition with three matches left to be played.
