#3 Jeje continues his brilliant form
Jeje Lalpekhlua has looked like a man reborn this season and he continued in the same vein in this game. The man from Mizoram had previously given India a crucial lead in the opening leg of the tie and was again ‘Johny on the spot’ adding a couple more to his ever increasing international goal count.
The Mohun Bagan striker was on hand to first drag the Indian team back level and then in the second half made no mistake when he got on the end of a brilliant through ball from the Indian captain Sunil Chhetri. Jeje, who plies his trade for Chennaiyin FC in the Indian Super League is currently the reigning Indian footballer of the year and he showed us why.
This season has been a shot in the arm for Jeje, who is currently the highest Indian goalscorer in AFC Cup history. He also made history last month when he became the highest ever goalscorer in a single edition of the Federation Cup as he led Mohun Bagan to victory in the competition.
