Cledson Dasilva Degol: Namdhari FC and Delhi FC settled for a goalless draw on the second day of the I-League 2024-25 season at the Namdhari Stadium, here on Saturday. Both teams got one point each for their efforts as they opened their campaigns in the new season.

Hosts Namdhari started the game on the front foot, dictating the pace and creating the first notable chance. In the 12th minute, Manvir Singh was all set to flick a cross from the right, but Delhi FC goalkeeper, Lalmuansanga, came up with a crucial save.

Shortly after this, Namdhari’s Brazilian recruit Vicente Mercedes unleashed a shot from the middle of the box, but it was blocked by Delhi’s resolute defence. The rebound fell to Vicente’s fellow Brazilian, Cledson Dasilva Degol, who fired wide of the target.
