FC Goa

Mandar Rao Dessai- 6/10

Mandar silky skills

Seriton Fernandes- 7/10

The right-back was organised and made no errors in the entire match. The local boy was also seen helping out in attack from the right flank on many occasions. His brilliant defending restricted Miku from completing his hat-trick in the 62nd minute. The defender was the main reason behind Sunil Chhetri's underwhelming performance in the match. Seriton made three important clearances making him the best Indian player in the match.     

Mohamed Ali- 6/10

Though Goa conceded three goals, Ali did a brilliant job in defending his side on many occasions. He was more clinical with his clearances and also with 86% passing accuracy he was one of the best players on the pitch.

Laxmikant Kattimani- 5/10

The custodian who made major errors in the last two matches was seen with improvements in his positioning, while he also made a few spectacular saves to deny Erik Paartalu, Chhetri and Braulio Nobrega.   

Narayan Das- 4/10

The left-back did not have the best game. Das was the only below average player on the Goan side as he was seen struggling with the ball and made many errors which could have cost the Guars. Most of his clearances were not up to the mark and his passes were intercepted on many occasions.

Sunil Chhetri- 4/10

The skipper was a complete spectator in the first half as the striker failed to find any shot in the entire 45 minutes. the second half saw him trying his luck from distance but his shot was brilliantly pushed for safety by the rival keeper. This was the only potent attempt by the forward in the enitre match.

Udanta Singh- 5/10

Udanta did nothing extraordinary in the match as he failed to produce a single shot. However, he did not commit any errors throughout the match. The winger's poor show in attack cost the South Indian club the most.
