Real Kashmir FC head coach David Robertson took a huge risk by fielding Mason Robertson in the hole behind Kofi Tetteh. Defensive midfielder Aaron Katebe slotted in the heart of the defense and conceded a couple of dangerous fouls.

However, from the attacking point of view, it worked. In the 33rd minute, Surchandra delivered a deadly cross and Mason Robertson beat Arijit Bagui to find the back of the net. In the 73rd minute, he combined well with Kofi Tetteh and unleashed a powerful shot to seal the deal. Thereafter, he slotted in the other half of the pitch as Real Kashmir looked to shut the shop.

Mason Robertson donned a similar role against Indian Arrows and it worked then. The father knows how to use his son in the best possible manner, and their combination is deadly for the oppositions.
