Sporting Club Delhi registered a 3-0 victory over Inter Kashi in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2026-27 at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Pune on Saturday, with Carlos Fortes, Juan Pena and Rodriguinho finding the net.

The visitors made a strong start, taking the lead in the sixth minute. Rodriguinho picked out Fortes inside the penalty area, and the forward converted from close range with a left-footed finish past Inter Kashi goalkeeper Shubham Dhas.

Inter Kashi responded by creating opportunities from set pieces, with Pratik Chaudhari and Leewan Castanha coming close with headers. However, the home side was unable to capitalise on its chances.

At the other end, Rodriguinho tested Dhas with an attempt from outside the box, while Mohammed Aimen and Fortes continued to trouble the Inter Kashi defence.

Inter Kashi came closest to equalising shortly before half-time when Chaudhari’s header struck the post, allowing Delhi to take its slender advantage into the break.

The host continued to search for an equaliser after the restart but struggled to convert its attacking opportunities. Delhi, meanwhile, remained dangerous on the counterattack, although Pena failed to make the most of an opening inside the box.

The visitors eventually doubled their lead in the 74th minute when Manoj Mohammed delivered a cross into the penalty area. Pena rose to meet the delivery and directed his header into the net to make it 2-0.

With Inter Kashi looking for a way back into the contest, Delhi added a third goal in the 88th minute. Rodriguinho, who had earlier assisted the opener, completed the scoring with a left-footed finish.

Despite creating several opportunities, particularly in the opening half, Inter Kashi could not find a breakthrough as Delhi held on to secure all three points away from home.
