In the second half Delhi Dynamos got a lifeline as Prabir Das brought down Marcelinho on the hour mark in the box, but marquee Florent Malouda’s penalty was saved by Debjit Majumder to keep ATK’s 1-0 lead intact. Only three minutes later, a 10 men Dynamos would equalise through a brilliant long range effort from Milan Singh.
But in the 71st minute Atletico de Kolkata were back in the lead again as substitute Javi Lara scored off a long range stunner as he beat fellow Spaniard Doblas in goal. This time the lead would only last three minutes as Malouda made up for the penalty miss as he beat two defenders to score past Debjit Majumder the 2-2 equaliser.
Both teams wanted to win, but it ended all square after the 90 minutes.
