Mohun Bagan

Shilton Paul (7/10): The Bagan keeper was not troubled to a great extent by the opposition barring one instance in the first half when he had to dive to his left to save Amarjit Singh’s shot.

Arijit Bagui (7/10): The full back was instrumental during the course of the game. He was steady in defence and linked up well with the players upfront.

Rana Gharami (7/10): Rana Gharami did well at the back forging an impressive partnership with Kingsley. He didn’t allow much space to the Arrows footballers and averted danger efficiently.

Eze Kingsley (7/10): The lanky defender commanded Mohun Bagan’s backline and scooted ahead for set-piece situations. He had Rahim Ali under control for most portions of the game.

Ricky Lallawmawia (5/10): Ricky only stayed on the pitch for the first 37th minutes and had to be substituted because of an injury. He tried to trouble Prabhsukhan Gill with a long ranger but the ball way off target.

Nikhil Kadam (8/10): Kadam was in imperious form on Tuesday. He was everywhere, linking up brilliantly with Dicka and Moghrabi. The attacking midfielder was able to send in crosses from the flanks which weren’t dealt with properly by the hosts. Thus Dicka took advantage of the situation and controlled the game.

Yuta Kinowaki (7/10): Kinowaki and Watson controlled play in the midfield and helped the forwards of the team on many occasions as they were able to find the runs of Dicka and Moghrabi.

Cameron Watson (7/10): Watson’s long ball from the half line found Dicka in the box and the latter didn’t make any mistake in putting it in the back of the net.

Azharuddin Mullick (6/10): Mullick didn’t do much in the first half but in the second he posed some problems for the Arrows defence after being played alongside Dicka as a striker in the absence of Moghrabi.

Akram Moghrabi (8/10): The Lebanese footballer was in the right place at the right time to score his third goal of the season. He crept in between Arrows defenders to slot home a Gurjinder cross to make it 2-0. However, the striker was injured in the process and didn’t take the field after the end of the first half.

Aser Dipanda Dicka (9/10): Dicka was the best player on the pitch today. He scored by virtue of a well-taken volley to give Mohun Bagan the lead in the first half and then had a header saved by Prabhsukhan Gill in the last 45 minutes. This was his 12th strike of the season.

Substitute

Gurjinder Kumar (9/10): He came on for Ricky in the 37th minute and made an immediate impact. His pinpoint pass from the left was converted into a goal by Moghrabi.

Sheikh Faiaz (5/10): The midfielder came on for Moghrabi at the start of the second half. This was a forced change but Faiaz did well to hold his own during the time he was on the pitch.

Raynier Fernandes (4/10): He came on for Kinowaki in the 72nd minute. He didn’t have much to do in the game.
