Luis Barreto (7.5/10) : The veteran shot-stopper pulled off several impressive saves but could not keep Turkovic's curler to rescue all three points from Imphal.
Salam Ranjan Singh (8/10) : The sturdy Manipuri Man had a good game with effective tackles and clearances to ease out the pressure for the Red and Golds.
Eduardo Ferreira (9.5/10) : The Brazilian was like a rock at the back as he maintained his anomaly of coming better in the aerial battles. His physique and tackles troubled the Neroca forward line to pull off shots at goal. Ferreira was the main man of Khalid's defensive play today.

Arnab Mondal (8/10) : The captain came to East Bengal's rescue on several occasions throughout the game and closed in quickly to avoid further chaos in the East Bengal box.
Prakash Sarkar (N/A) : The youngster was quickly substituted for Rafique and did not have ample amount of time to prove his mettle.
Bazie Armand (7.5) : Armand was extremely physical in the game and was a cause of worry for the Neroca midfielders in the middle of the park.
Md. Al-Amna (8/10) : The Syrian was on song as usual but he missed two crucial chances in the second half to put East Bengal ahead. Amna's brilliant through balls kept the Neroca defenders in checks.
Katsumi Yusa (8.5/10) : The Japanese scored the all important opener for East Bengal and had immense pace throughout the match.
Laldanmawia Ralte (7.5/10) : The young Mizo striker made good use of Amna's delicious balls but could not apply the finish.
Willis Plaza (8/10) : The Trinidad and Tobago man piled on continuous off-the-ball pressure.
SUBSTITUTES
Md Rafique (7.5/10) : Rafique was tasked with a much defensive duty today and he cleared several dangerous looking balls away to safety.
Charles de Souza (3/10) : The Brazilian had a day to forget as usual as he did not have any impact on Neroca and was easily outwitted by the home side.
Surabuddin Mollick (N/A) : Came late and did not have much of a time to create any impact.
