Katsumi Yusa proved how good he is once more as the midfielder ran the show for the team from Guwahati. The Japanese midfielder was all over the place, the kind you want from a midfielder, as he made a considerable number of interceptions for his side.

His disciplined positioning allowed him to win the ball back and send his teammates on the offence.

He was a thorn in ATK’s side as his pace allowed him to skip away from his much slower opponents and barrel forward when NEU was threatening to break away. In a game that was dominated by the home side’s languorous display, Katsumi’s display was a real pleasure to watch.
