#3 East Bengal kept on missing chances in front of goal

After a delightful spell of two matches for the Winger and retreating striker Enrique Esqueda, the Mexican has seen a sudden drop of form off-late.

He has been creating a good number of chances for the other players but seems to have lost his scoring boots.

Esqueda squandered several chances in front of goal, few of them being ones set up for him on a plate but lacked finish.

He was too late to react after Lalramchullova's free-kick in front of an empty net. Gurpreet Singh also squandered few easy saves which allowed Esqueda to bang the loose balls into the net but he took too much time to sort himself and placed it off-target on most of the occasions.

Jobby Justin has been scoring lately but he also did miss few half chances in front of the goal. Such shambolic finishing allowed the Aizawl FC defence to grow in confidence and they did hit East Bengal hard in the second half.
