Chennai City FC
Kabir (6/10): Even though he conceded a lot of goals, Kabir made some brilliant saves, had he not made those saves Chennai would have conceded goals in the double digits today.
Veniamin Shumeiko (4/10): He had big problems in communication with his defensive partner and also with his Goalkeeper. Shumeiko also had issues coping with the physical presence of Amna, Dudu, and Kromah. He was left ball-watching during the 4th goal that East Bengal scored.
Dharmaraj Ravanan (4/10): Ravanan had a torrid start to the game, he was put under pressure right from the first minute and looked to be chasing shadows while keeping the likes of Amna and Dudu in check.
Edwin Vanspaul (5/10): Edwin had a difficult time in the first half, Mehtab, Kromah, and Brandon ran circles around him, he was time and again beaten by Mehtab and he did very little to stop the crosses from getting into the box.
Asif Kottayil (6/10): Asif was probably the best defender for Chennai in the first half, he went forward and helped his side in attack, he also made sure that he tracked the runs of the East Bengal wingers.
Pandiyan Srinivasan (6/10): Pandiyan was good in the middle of the park, as he worked really hard to cover Amna, Katsumi, and Lobo. Even though the scoreboard doesn’t show his contribution but he really was a big factor in ensuring Chennai kept hold of the ball more than East Bengal. He made some crucial interceptions and blocks.
Soosai Raj (5/10): Looked lively in the initial moments of the match, but gradually faded away as the East Bengal midfield took charge of the game. He did play some good through balls to his strikers.
Alexander Jesuraj (5/10): Alexander Jesuraj was poor down the right wing for Chennai. He couldn’t make many inroads down the flanks and his passing and crossing were way below par.
Joachim Junior (6/10): Joachim Junior was the most dangerous player for Chennai up front, as he provided a brilliant assist, and had a good attempt at goal only to see Ubaid save it.
Aleksandar Rakic (4/10): Rakic hardly had the ball at his feet, and he was often seen as an isolated figure up front. He only had one shot on target and that too from a free kick from 20 yards out.
Donghyeon Kim (5/10): Kim dropped deep in search of the ball and was often seen inside his own penalty box helping out his defenders. Kim did make some interceptions, but his passing and build up play were poor.
