For long spells, this sounded like a difficult night for SC Delhi. The report says FC Raengdai were sharper in the first half, pressed high and protected their lead well after Kishan Singh struck early.
Then came the change.
Sunny’s introduction appears to have altered the tempo and direction of the match:
That is often what knockout football turns on: not just possession, but the right intervention at the right moment.
A reported 5-1 win after trailing is not just a comeback; it suggests a side that found another level when the game opened up. The update says Rodriguinho, Juan Sebastian Pena and Augustine Lalrochana added the other goals, underlining how quickly the contest swung once SC Delhi equalised and then surged clear.
For FC Raengdai, there is still encouragement in the performance. The report says they were organised, aggressive and comfortable without the ball for much of the first half. But knockout ties can be brutal when momentum shifts, and they appear to have been overwhelmed once SC Delhi found rhythm.
The immediate storyline is whether SC Delhi can carry that second-half authority into the semi-finals. Another slow start may not be so forgiving. But if Sunny continues to make this kind of impact, and if the supporting scorers stay involved, SC Delhi may feel they have arrived at the business end of the competition with real momentum.
