Delhi Dynamos FC fought back from a two-goal deficit twice to hold Mumbai City FC 3-3 and maintain their unbeaten record in the Hero Indian Super League-3 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Tuesday evening.

The visitors were coasting to what seemed like a comfortable night after taking a 2-0 lead at the breather through Krisztian Vadocz’s brace in the 33rd and 39th minutes. The two strikes in six minutes should have been enough for the visitors but Delhi turned the tables in the second session.

Richard Gadze pulled one back in the 51st minute before Sony Norde made it 3-1 for Mumbai City with about 20 minutes still left to be played. Senegalese striker Badara Badji then threw a lifeline for Delhi in the 76th minute and Marcelinho scored a penalty in the 81st minute to make it 3-3. It was Gadze who was brought down by the Mumbai goalkeeper and Marcelinho stepped up in an entertaining clash.

The draw left the hosts in third place with six points from three matches while Mumbai City were second with eight points from five matches.
