You can’t stop Willis Plaza. Each time you doubt about his quality, the Trinidad and Tobago international would force to sit you up and take notice. His likes to give answers on the field and that’s what he did against NEROCA to win crucial three points for his side.

Apart from a shot in the 13th minute, which just missed the target, Plaza didn’t do anything noteworthy till the 85th minute. He was largely missing from the action and whenever he got the ball he was dispossessed too soon by his former teammate Eduardo.

But a true player makes his mark whenever he gets the faintest opportunity. Plaza was standing unmarked when Ceesay lofted the ball over a defender to him. Plaza took a touch, got the wide angle and shot it on the left side. He never misses chances like this.

The second one was a piece of beauty. From a corner, he moved up near the first post, rose up against his marker and headed the ball with all of the power into the net. It was a brilliant scene and Plaza was rightly rewarded with the man of the match award.
