Jamshedpur FC

Subrata Paul- 5.5

He had a very poor game in truth. Prior to this match, he hadn’t conceded a single goal and in this game, due to some sloppy defending, he conceded the goal to the only shot on target. The shot-stopper had three clearances and one catch in thie game but goal proved to be the deciding factor.

Shouvik Ghosh- 5.5

Looked deserted all game. He did not clock a single tackle nor an interception the whole match and being a defender that is a pretty shocking stat. He passed the ball 21 times with a pass completion rate of 52%. Also contributed 5 clearances to the team’s defence.
