Football
has become part of the prestigious professional sporting leagues in India when the announcement was made about the eight
franchisees of All India Football Federation's Indian Super League (ISL) on
last Sunday. It features eight franchise teams from all around India.The league

champion.The Indian Super League was officially launched on 21 October 2013 by
IMG-Reliance, STAR Sports, and the AIFF. It was also announced that the league
would take place from January 2014 to March 2014. However, on 29 October 2013,
it was announced that the ISL would be postponed to September 2014.At first, it was announced
that bidding for the eight Indian Super League teams would be complete before
the end of 2013.Finally, in early
April 2014, the winning bidders were announced the selected cities/state in the
end were Chennai, Delhi, Goa, Guwahati, Kochi, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Pune. The league officially started on 12 October 2014 at
the salt lake stadium with a match between Atletico de Kolkata and
Mumbai city. Second match was at the Indira Gandhi stadium in Guwahati with a match between North East united and Kerala blasters.
The first two matches of the
Indian Super League (ISL) 2014 have shown us that the level of competition in
football has risen in India.Now turns attention toward the capital of India.The third match of the Indian Super League played between Delhi Dynamos and FC Pune City here at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Tuesday ended in a goalless draw.Tennis star Sania Mirza among
the crowd to cheer for the ISL clash.With lots of empty seats and Delhi crowd not as enthusiastic as Kolkata and Guwahati, it surely needed something to shout for, and the home team's coach provided that in the 38th minute when the former Italian and Juventus legend Del Piero came from the bench to replace Morten Skoubo. Smooth start by both the sides.Both sides eyeing
early lead but no goal in first ten minutes.Delhi Dynamos look pretty strong
but have missed several chances. No goal in first 25 minutes Loud cheer
from stadium for Alessandro Del Piero. Mads Junker had picked up an injury.
After first half close, no goals is scored.In the first half, Delhi got their first chance of the game in the 13th minute but nobody was there to slot the ball in. After first half both the team went into half time level at 0-0.The second half started with Pune creating the first opportunity but Israil Gurung's cross was cleared away by Anwar Ali. But unlike the first half, play in the second was slow and restricted to the middle of the park. Delhi would be disappointed that they failed to make their chances count while a point away from home wouldn't be a bad result for Franco Colombo's team. so the match was draw and the score is 0-0 but It was a tough game and conditions were pretty tough for both the teams.
from my side that was the amazing and phenomenal experience for me to see a live match first time but i m a girl and for the security regions i was put up at 8:00 pm. Because of my cell phones bettry problem even i can't click the pics but that experience was awesome and both the teams were good and play well.
