Atletico de Kolkata were held to a 1-1 draw by Delhi Dynamos in a bad-tempered game on Saturday.

Atletico striker Iain Hume opened the scoring in the 27th minute when he capitalised on an error from goalkeeper Toni Doblas, who spilled a Rino Anto cross.

Robin Singh and Augustin Fernandes almost came to blows as the half-time whistle sounded.

Richard Gadze scored after break to claim a draw as he latched on to a Florent Malouda pass to hammer home.

The 21-year-old Ghanaian then hit the post with another effort shortly afterwards, and had a last-minute goal ruled out for offside.

Tempers flared between Roberto Carlos and Valdo on the final whistle as the game ended 1-1, with Delhi maintaining their one-point lead over the former champions.
