The Brazilian had scored all four goals in their 4-3 tournament-opening win against Mumbai Warriors on Friday. Yesterday he walked away with the Man of the Match award of Rs 1 lakh.
Delhi unstoppable
Chennai Singhams, led firmly by Argentina legend Hernan Crespo, just couldn't stop the strong Delhi attack. In the second minute, Brazilian Diego Nunes Costa fed his Ronaldinho with a beautiful assist. Ronaldinho, positioned right in front of goal, just headed the ball in. Chennai equalised in the very next minute through Crespo and secured a lead in the 14th minute with a goal from Angel Claudini despite the absence of marquee player Crespo on the court. However, it wasn't long before Delhi found the equaliser in the 26th minute, courtesy a stunner from Rolon, who shot from around the half line.
Ronaldinho then added his second in the 28th minute, but it was Delhi's fourth goal in the 32nd minute that wooed the full house.
Costa's ripper from the half line was beat the Chennai defence and goalkeeper Preetam all ends up.
Mumbai tame Cobras
In the other clash, Mumbai Warriors registered a come-from-behind 6-4 win over Kerala Cobras. The goal rout began with Cobras in the second minute, courtesy Raphael.
Daniel then equalised for the hosts. With goals coming from either end, the scores were now 4-4. Mumbai then added a fifth and Chanpreet rounded off the proceedings for 6-4.
