Prabhsukhan Gill (8/10) - The young goalkeeper put in an incredible shift between the sticks as he kept out whatever the East Bengal attackers threw at him. He was beaten at the death with a header by Dudu who won the game for the home side. He won the man of the match award for his gutsy performance.

Jitendra Singh (7/10) - The central defender showed great grit and determination as East Bengal kept barraging the Arrows goal. He was strong in his tackles and pulled off a lot of clearances.

Anwar Ali (7/10) - The tall defender was up against the threat of Dudu in the attack and he used his height and physicality to great effect against the Nigerian. He blocked a lot of efforts by the attackers with his tackles and was good in the air whenever Arrows had setpiece chances.

Sanjeev Stalin (7/10) - The left-back for the Arrows was kept busy on his flank by the pacey Ralte who made a lot of runs on the wings. Stalin did attack whenever Arrows broke on the counter from the left.

Asish Rai (7/10) - The right-back perhaps had the toughest job today having to deal with Katsumi Yusa on his flank. Rai showed great commitment in defence and intercepted quite a few shots taken by the East Bengal players.

Deepak Tangri (6.5/10) - The defensive midfielder played just in front of the Arrows defence and was critical with his pressing and defensive clearances. He won a lot of aerial duels in the centre of the pitch.

Amarjit Singh Kiyam (6.5/10) - The captain of Indian Arrows put in an industrious shift in the centre of the park as he organised his side to deal with the incessant East Bengal attacks.

Abhijit Sarkar (6/10) - The Kolkata-born attacker had to put in a defensive shift today as the Arrows had to sit back and defend for the entire stretch of the game. He had a close chance in the second half that would have put Arrows in the lead but his effort was dealt well by Ubaid in the East Bengal goal.

Rahul Kannooly (6/10) - The winger was the go-to man whenever Indian Arrows broke on the counter. He also helped out his defence.

Aniket Jadhav (6/10) - The Kolhapur-born striker played on the wings and was the target man for the Indian Arrows with him being the furthest player ahead. He put in a couple of good crosses into the East Bengal box that created the chances for the Arrows.

Rahim Ali (6/10) - The tall striker had to fall back and defend most of the times. He won a lot of headers from the crosses into the box by the East Bengal wingers.

Substitutes:

Suresh Wangjam (4.5/10) - Suresh came on to replace Aniket Jadhav as Matos made a defensive change.
