Mohammedan Sporting Club came from behind twice and secured a 2-2 draw against Sporting Club Delhi in their Indian Super League (ISL) 2025-26 clash at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi on Sunday.
The result means that Mohammedan picks up its third consecutive point, taking its tally to three from ten matches. However, it remains at the bottom of the table while SC Delhi moves to 10th place with nine points from as many matches.
SC Delhi began on the front foot, dominating possession and pushing Mohammedan deep into its own half in the early exchanges. The pressure paid off in the 17th minute when Mohammed Aimen drew a foul inside the penalty area from Mohammedan goalkeeper Padam Chhetri, and Matija Babovic stepped up to calmly convert from the spot and give the host the lead.
The home side continued to control proceedings, with Aimen and Augustine Lalrochana orchestrating attacks, while Mohammedan struggled to build momentum going forward. However, the visitor gradually grew into the contest after the drinks break, showing greater composure in possession.

Mohammedan levelled things up in the 40th minute with a moment of sharp awareness from forward Thokchom Adison Singh. A long-lofted ball from Makan Chothe caught the defence off guard, and as goalkeeper Nora Fernandes rushed out to clear, Adison calmly took the ball past him before finishing emphatically into an open net to restore parity.
SC Delhi retook quickly after the restart when a shot from Lalrochana was parried by Chettri. However, the ball fell kindly for Babovic, who reacted quickest to slot home his second goal of the evening.
Undeterred, Mohammedan continued to press and was rewarded again in the 65th minute. From a short corner, a cross was delivered by Lalngaihsaka from the right, Hira Mondal found himself unmarked at the far post and powered a header into the top corner to level the scores once more.
Despite sustained attacking intent from both teams in the closing stages, neither side could find the decisive goal, as defensive resilience and goalkeeping at both ends ensured the points were shared.
