Mohun Bagan

Mohun Bagan played brilliantly with regular offensive moves in the first half but were put to their misery in the second half.

Shilton Paul (7.5/10) : The Bagan captain had a good outing between the sticks until Miku launched an onslaught in the second half. He made a couple of good saves to keep Bagan in the game.

Kingsley Eze (8/10) : Kingsley was effective throughout the game and was extremely pivotal in defending the corners.

Kinshuk Debnath (4.5/10) : Debnath had a poor game. Miku troubled him at regular intervals throughout the course of the game.

Arijit Bagui (6.5/10) : The youngster swung in some dangerous looking crosses, but failed to find the right men in the box.

Gurjinder Kumar (7/10) : Gurjinder had a decent outing on the field, containing Chhetri upto a good extent.

Yuta Kinowaki (8/10) : The Japanese was arguably the best player for the Mariners, playing a brilliant role in the midfield in building up offensive moves and also tracking back to defend collectively.

Cameron Watson (7/10) : The midfielder was looking off-color today and several of his passes were intercepted.

Sk. Faiaz (7.5/10) : Faiaz was a live wire in the first half with quick moves upfront but eventually lost his touch in the second half.

Nikhil Kadam (7.5/10) : The revelation for Bagan this season. He missed quite a few chances but his runs and dribbles troubled Bengaluru defense time to time.

Akram Moghrabi (7/10) : Moghrabi was wasteful in front of the goal. He squandered a couple of extremely easy chances.

Dipanda Dicka (8.5/10) : Dicka scored twice and helped Bagan reduce the deficit.

SUBSTITUTES

Beikhokei (6/10) : Beikhokei was not effective despite coming off as a substitute.

Raynier Fernandes (N/A) : Raynier came late into the game and could not contribute much on the field.

Rana Gharami (N/A) : Gharami's only notable contribution was conceding a penalty in the final moments of the game.

Miku scored a hattrick to put Bengaluru FC through.

The Blues struggled to get going in the first half but got better of the Mariners in the second courtesy a brilliant performance from their striker Miku upfront.

Gurpreet Singh Sandhu (7.5/10) : Sandhu was inconsistent in the match with a couple of good saves but was suicidal at times with unnecessary outings from the box.

Nishu Kumar (6/10) : Kumar was sent off early for a late tackle from the back on Kadam who was through on goal.

Harmanjyot Singh Khabra (5.5//10) : Khabra was wasteful with slow movements at the back and allowed Faiaz immense space to exploit.

John Johnson (8/10) : Johnson always came off the winner in aerial ball duels. He was a prolonged threat and obstacle for the Mariners during the corners at either side.

Subhasish Bose (7.5/10) : Bose had an impressive outing with a decent performance at the left flank.

Boithang Haokip (7/10) : Haokip missed several chances to put Bengaluru ahead in the first half from close range.

Erik Paartulu (7.5/10) : Paartulu was instrumental both in the defense and midfield. He spearheaded several attacks from the back and also led his back.

Victor Perez (6.5/10) : Perez was not as effective he would have liked himself to be upfront with several poor passes.

Miku (9.5/10) : The best player of the match without any doubt. The Venezuelan scored twice in two minutes in the second half to turn the tables on out of nowhere. His spot-kick few minutes later helped him get his hattrick as well. The reason for the difference between the two teams today.

Sunil Chhetri (8.5/10) : Chhetri came close to scoring throughout the match and finally scored a belter late into the game.

Udanta Singh (8/10) : His pace and agility at the right flank caused immense trouble for the Bagan defense throughout the game.

SUBSTITUTES

Toni Dovale (8/10) : The Spaniard replaced Khabra at the break and was effective in the defense.

Lenny Rodrigues (N/A) : He came late into the game and had minimal impact. His first touch was horrendous almost leading to an own goal.

Malswamzuala (N/A) : He came in during the additional time and hardly got a touch of the ball
