Durand Cup: SC Delhi Storm Into Semis After Stunning Comeback Against FC Raengdai
Birsa Munda Football Stadium: SC Delhi produced a remarkable second-half comeback to defeat debutants FC Raengdai 5-1 in the first quarter-final of the 135th Durand Cup at the Birsa Munda Football Stadium on Sunday.
After Chongtham Kishan Singh's stunning long-range strike had put Raengdai ahead in the first half, Substitute Joseph Sunny's second-half brace turned the game around before Rodriguinho, Juan Sebastian Peña and Augustine Lalrochana added further goals to send SC Delhi into the semi-finals.
FC Raengdai made their intentions clear from the opening whistle, controlling possession, moving the ball patiently and pressing high. SC Delhi, however, threatened on the counter in the seventh minute when captain Lamgoulen Semkholun delivered an excellent cross from the right. Juan Sebastian Peña produced a fantastic leap to direct his header towards the far post, but the ball bounced over the crossbar.
