Atletico de Kolkata
Debjit Majumdar (8.5/10)
Another brilliant day in between the sticks for the Mohun Bagan man. Came up big and saved from the spot, helping Kolkata earn a vital point away to Delhi.
Prabir Das (6.5/10)
Was unlucky to have been punished with a penalty when the referee deemed the right back had tripped Marcelinho in the box. Molina would expect a bit more attacking impetus.
Henrique Sereno (7/10)
Probably had his best game so far even though the team conceded two goals. Looked authoritative, and if not for him, Atletico would have had to endure some scary moments at the back.
Tiri (5.5/10)
A bad day at the office for the Spaniard. His soft tackle on Malouda led to the ball ricocheting off of the Frenchman’s legs, leading to Delhi’s equaliser. He would be ruing the chance that fell to him deep into second-half injury time.
Robert Lalthlamuana (6.5/10)
Did keep Marcelinho in check, but provided little going forward.
Borja Fernandez (7.5/10)
Had a splendid game in the middle as he looked to spread play on either flank. However, with the Atletico wingers floundering, his work wasn’t made to look as goog as it was. Could have ended up with an assist to his name if Juan Belencoso had the striker’s instinct to get at the end of a sweeping cross.
Jewel Raja (6/10)
Raja was today’s man at the middle as Molina desperately tries to find his best combination in central midfield. Raja, however, doesn’t seem to be the answer though as the man from Bengal gave a performance that littered with poor first touches.
Sameehg Doutie (7/10)
A precise ball down the middle from the South African cut open the Delhi defence to help Kolkata open the scoring. However, his night came to an abrupt halt when he had to be withdrawn in the 43rd minute with an injury.
Lalrindika Ralte (4.5/10)
After sparkling for one game against NorthEast, Ralte has again gone back to the appalling form he had at the beginning of the season. Kolkata need much better service from the left if they have aspirations to contend.
Iain Hume (7/10)
Finally scored a goal from open play as the Canadian became the first player to score 20 goals in the Indian Super League. The former Preston man looked sharp, and Atletico would be hoping that this game would spark him into the form we saw him in at the latter parts of last season.
Helder Postiga (6/10)
The Portuguese marquee man failed to make a mark in the game. It might just be wise for Molina to play him in a number ten role rather than the man at the top.
Substitutes
Javi Lara (8/10)
The Spaniard seemed to have won it late for Kolkata when he pummelled in yet another brilliant strike from long range, taking his tally to 3 goals for this season.
Bidyananda Singh (5/10)
Usually a central defensive midfielder, Bidyananda has been employed on the wings in the ISL so far. While he is a willing runner, he still doesn’t have the confidence to run at the defender.
Juan Belencoso (6/10)
Had 20 minutes to effect the game, but failed to make any real difference in the match.
