Kamo outshines the East Bengal forwards

Stephane Bayi Kamo played as the lone forward up front for the visitors, a role he played really well.

He really gave Arnab Mondal and Eduardo Ferreira in the heart of East Bengal's defence a tough time with his physicality and ability to wriggle into space. He did a fantastic job with the ball at his feet - holding it up to bring his teammates into play, showing good ball control to get away from defenders and winning free-kicks that helped his side gain ground.

Compared to Charles De Souza and Willis Plaza in the East Bengal ranks, Kamo was the better forward in the game. Unfortunately, he had to be taken off after 48 minutes and Kerala missed his industry after that.
