Aditya Adhikari netted the second goal in the 16th minute when he ran in from the left to score with a deft right-footer from a difficult angle. There was no end to Chandigarh’s woes as Moirangthem’s strong shot from inside the box made it 3-0 in the 27th minute.
Thereafter, it was like one-way traffic on the pitch, and Delhi netted another five goals to make it a complete rout.
