Ratings: Ogbeche, Asish power Hyderabad FC's win over NorthEast United

The Nizams recorded a second consecutive win by putting five past the Highlanders

Hyderabad FC humbled NorthEast United by a 5-1 scoreline in their latest Indian Super League 2021-22 encounter at the Athletic Stadium in Bambolim, Goa on Monday. Goals from Chinglensana Singh, Bartholomew Ogbeche (2), Aniket Jadhav and Javier Siverio ensured three points for Manolo Marquez's men. Laldanmawia Ralte scored for NEUFC, but the outfit suffered their second successive defeat in the league, raising several questions. Khalid Jamil is under a lot of pressure and must turn the situation around sooner rather than later.

The five-star performance from the Nizams was possible due to some fabulous individual performances from both Indian and foreign players. They had a better cohesion on the pitch than the opposition players, which was apparent with the scoreline at the end. Here is a look at the player ratings from HFC's win over NEUFC:

Hyderabad FC (by Waseem Zaidi)

Laxmikant Kattimani (GK)- 6.5

The custodian could not keep a clean-sheet, but did not make a lot of mistakes. He got a yellow card for time-wasting and made four saves to keep his team in the lead.  

Asish Rai- 8.0

The right-back has been performing consistently well this season. Once again, he was absolutely everywhere, contributing to attack and defence. Rai made two clearances, three interceptions and three blocks, in addition to delivering five crosses for the attackers.

Chinglensana Singh- 8.0

Chinglensana Singh scored the opening goal of the match which was also his first-ever in the ISL. The centre-back was solid in defence apart from his contribution in attack. He also made four clearances and three interceptions to keep the opposition at bay.

Juanan- 6.5

Juanan was solid as ever and led the backline with good command. He had four clearances, two interceptions and one block in a brilliant performance. 

Akash Mishra- 7.0

The left-back was again instrumental in both attack and defence. He made four crosses inside the box and at the same time made three tackles, five clearances and one interception.

Hitesh Sharma- 5.0

The midfielder had one tackle, one block and two interceptions before making way for Tavora in the second half.

Joao Victor- 7.0

The Hyderabad FC skipper was vital in winning the midfield battles against NorthEast United and kept the ball moving while in possession.

He had three tackles, three clearances and five interceptions, suggesting he played a key role in shutting the opposition out in the middle.

Nikhil Poojary- 6.0

Nikhil Poojary did not stand out with his performance, but played his role well in the grand scheme of things. He made three crosses into the box, but did not create a scoring chance. He was replaced by Aaren D’Silva in the 83rd minute.

Edu Garcia- 8.0

The Spaniard came back into the starting lineup and repaid the faith by delivering a great performance. He provided an assist and created two scoring chances. Garcia also had five shots on goal and 47 touches on the ball.

Rohit Danu- 6.5

Rohit Danu is slowly getting to terms with the quality needed to succeed at the top. The forward played 70 minutes, but had only 25 touches on the ball. He worked hard, but needs more composure on the ball.

Bartholomew Ogbeche- 9.5

The striker is slowly proving why he is one of the best foreign players to grace the ISL. Ogbeche scored an incredible brace with his left and right foot, helping the team to the three points.

Substitutes

Sahil Tavora- 5.5

The midfielder came on the pitch in the 63rd minute to add more energy to Hyderabad FC as they dominated NorthEast United. He got a yellow card for his troubles. 

Aniket Jadhav- 7.5

Aniket Jadhav replaced Rohit Danu from the bench with an aim to help his side protect the lead. The winger scored HFC’s fourth goal by latching on to Joel Chianese’s header and slotting it past the goalkeeper with his right foot. 

Joel Chianese- 6.0

The creative midfielder provided the assist for Jadhav’s goal to put the result beyond any doubt.

Javier Siverio- 7.5

The young Spaniard scored his first goal of the season and first for the club with a well-taken header in injury-time.

Aaren D’Silva- 7.0

Aaren D’Silva provided the cross for the fifth goal on the night scored by Siverio.

NorthEast United FC (By Yash Pratap Singh)

Subhasish Roy Chowdhury- 2.0

The keeper made his comeback into the starting XI, but delivered a below-par performance to say the least. He allowed everything to pass him and conceded three goals. He was the weakest link of NorthEast United, which cost them the game.

Joe Zoherliana- 4.0

He made overlapping runs, sent in pinpoint crosses, but was poor defensively and looked very weak. Joe also played many misplaced passes and gave away the ball in key positions.

Hernan Santana- 5.0

The Spaniard started the game in the heart of the defence, but later moved to the midfield. He initiated link-up play, played good passes and also came back to defend.

Patrick Flottmann- 3.5

Flottmann made five clearances and four interceptions. The NorthEast United defender put in a couple of important tackles against Hyderabad FC, but was very poor throughout the game. He looked out of sync in most situations and gave the ball away quite cheaply.

Tondonba Singh- 2.5

Just like his teammates, Tondonba was poor when it came to defending. He did not defend well and allowed wingers to put in crosses which later resulted in goals.

Pragyan Gogoi- 4.0

Played just 45 minutes, but overall had a decent outing. He played accurate passes, made important defensive contributions. Moreover, he had a shot blocked which was on target.

Mohamed Irshad- 3.5

Irshad maintained a poor passing accuracy and was also outplayed on most occasions. He won two of his five duels in the 45 minutes that he played.

Imran Khan- 5.5

Imran played the entire game and looked the best player for the Highlanders. He completed majority of his passes, created chances and was also solid defensively. Moreover, he completed most of his dribbles and also won the ball in key positions.

Laldanmawia- 4.0

The winger was again poor with his passing precision, lost the ball in positions and was out-muscled many times. However, he scored the only goal for his side.

VP Suhair- 4.5

Suhair didn’t deliver the type of performance Khalid Jamil would have expected him to. He tried to complete his attacking moves and lost possession 20 times. He had two shots on target, but couldn’t make much of them.

Mathias Coureur- 3.5

The forward completed most of his passes including a key pass. However, he was mostly absent and looked restless every time NorthEast United initiated an attack.

Lalkhawpuimawia- 3.5

He came on in the second half for Pragyan Gogoi. He switched positions from playing behind the striker to playing as the striker. He lost all his aerial duels and won 50% of his ground duels.

Rochharzela- 3.0

Came on in the 77th minute for the goalscorer, but Danmawia. Chhara couldn’t make much of an impact.
