Arijit Bagui (6/10) - The Mohun Bagan right-back was kept busy throughout the match as Leonce Dodoz ran riot on the left flank many times on the match.

Rana Gharami (6.5/10) - Rana Gharami started today as Kinshuk Debnath sat out due to injury and Gharami did total justice to his selection. He was strong in the defence along with Kingsley and won a lot of aerial duels and interceptions to keep the Aizawl FC attackers out.

Kingsley Eze (6.5/10) - The former Aizawl FC man had a decent outing for the most part of the match as the visitors did well to keep the Aizawl FC attacking threat in check. Eze was strong in his tackles and made a lot of interceptions.

Ricky Lallawmawma (6.5/10) - The left-back for Bagan had a busy night at both ends of the pitch as he made good runs whenever they attacked and also did well to fall back in defence whenever the team required.

Raynier Fernandes (7/10) - Raynier Fernandes had an industrious match as he was highly active in the midfield for Bagan. He complimented the calmness of Watson well with his energetic presence as they kick-started the attacks from the midfield.

Cameron Watson (6.5/10) - Watson was a calming presence in the midfield and moved the ball around well in the middle of the park. He combined well with Raynier Fernandes and kept looking for runs on the wings with diagonal aerial balls.

Sheikh Faiaz (6.5/10) - The pacy winger from Kolkata who has been one of the finds for Bagan this season had a good first half as he made a lot of runs through the centre as well as the flanks. He had a comparatively quiet start to the second half and was substituted just before the 60th minute when Chesterpaul Lyngdoh came on.

Nikhil Kadam (7/10) - The winger who was one of the brightest players in the derby had a good match as he plied his trade on the wings for the Bagan side. He was constantly on the lookout for good runs from the attackers ahead of him. Kadam was also on setpiece duty throughout the match and put in good deliveries.

Asier Dipanda Dicka (4.5/10) - The Cameroonian attacker, who is also the league's top scorer this season had an outing to forget as he got injured in an early incident when he collided in an effort to take a shot. He was substituted off at the half-hour mark when he went down with an injury and was replaced by Manandeep Singh.

Akram Moghrabi (7.5/10) - The Lebanese, who was playing his second match of the season played in the attack just behind the main striker. He was good with his movement and superiority in the air during corners and created a lot of chances for the visitors.

Substitutes:

Manandeep Singh (7.5/10) - The former Minerva Punjab FC striker came on to replace Dicka in the 30th minute of the match.

Chesterpaul Lyngdoh (5/10) - The former DSK Shivajians man came on just before the hour mark in place of Sheikh Faiaz on the wings. The diminutive midfielder was lively on the right wing with his runs and combined well with Nikhil Kadam to create chances for Mohun Bagan.

Surchandra Singh (4.5/10) - Singh came on in the final five minutes of the match as the Bagan coach pushed on for the winner in the last stretch of the match.
