Johor Darul Ta'zim
Izham Tarmizi: 5/10
The keeper didn’t have much to do in the match. His ball distribution wasn’t the greatest. As a result, he ended up conceding possession cheaply to Bengaluru far too often. Tarmizi did well to come out and block a dangerous cross from Lyngdoh but apart from that, dd not affect the game at all.
Azrif Nasrulhaq: 4/10
The full-back played as a right midfielder on the night. His impact was minimal and his fellow team-mates occupied his position as a result. He failed to track back and looked an isolated figure.
Amirul Hadi: 4/10
Hadi failed to feed his forward’s with penetrating passes. When an opportunity was presented, he released the ball a tad late always. He looked tired and was substituted at the hour mark.
Kunanlan: 5/10
The right back didn’t have the best of games. While he did maraud forward on multiple occasions, his final crosses never met it’s intended target. His centre-backs came to his aid when defending against Chhetri.
Marcus Antonio: 6/10
Antonio displayed grit and pace. He handled Sunil extremely well during one on one occasions. He marshalled his troops across the back line but was guilty of not attacking the ball when Sunil scored a header from the corner.
Aidil Zafuan: 5/10
The centre-back was bothered constantly during set pieces and it proved costly for his side. He failed to impose himself and appeared overwhelmed by what was at stake.
Safiq Rahim: 7/10
The diminutive midfielder scored the opening goal for his side and didn’t look back. Whenever Johor had the chance to counter Bengaluru, Safiq was ever present in advanced positions on the field. He pounced on Amrinder’s error to tap in a header into an open goal. Ultimately, he wasn’t ably supported by his team-mates.
Safee Sali: 5/10
Combined well with Safiq and used his pace to trouble Bengaluru’s defenders initially. His impact was greatly reduced in the second half.
Azammuddin Akil: 4/10
A lot was expected from the experienced forward but he failed to produce the goods when his team needed him the most. Akil was one of the poorest players for the Malaysian side on the night.
Hariss Harun: 5/10
Harun cut a frustrated figure in the middle of the park. His team-mates didn’t look to him for a pass and his minimal impact dwindled as the night progressed.
Fazly Mazlan: 5/10
Mazlan showed glimpses of his capabilities by spraying the ball across the pitch to stretch Bengaluru’s defence. But he became increasingly erratic once his side conceded the second goal.
Substitutes
Gary Steven Robat: 4/10
Robat came on as a substitute at the hour mark. The highlight of his performance being a dangerous tackle on Rubio that earned him a yellow card.
Aldstal: 3/10
The striker was introduced in the final ten minutes. He had a glorious chance to score immediately but his shot lacked power and went straight into the keeper’s arms.
