Romaric was the hero for NorthEast

FC Pune City

Sissoko
Sissoko had a shocker and could’ve seen red for his actions

Edel Bete - 7/10

The former Chennaiyin FC goalkeeper was good for Pune. Edel did very well to claim and punch away the crosses that came into his area. The 30-year old only had two easy shots to save in the game. He couldn't have done anything about the goal.

Dharmaraj Ravanan - 6/10

The Indian defender had a good game on Tuesday. Even though the player gave away the ball cheaply a few times, Ravanan made some good tackles, interceptions and even a couple of good crosses. He made a top class tackle on Velez on the left wing.

Eduardo Ferreira - 4.5/10

The 33-year-old made a few interceptions and aerial clearances, other than that he had a bad game. Eduardo conceded a free-kick in a dangerous area in the first half and also conceded the free-kick from which NorthEast scored. The centre-back was shown the yellow card for handling the ball, which resulted in the free-kick.

Gouramangi Singh - 5/10

The Indian defender started the game well, but was poor later on. Gouramangi made some good tackles and also made a key interception just in front of his post. However, the 30-year-old could have conceded a penalty for a foul on Alfaro at the end of the first half. The player made another risky tackle in the box on the same player in the second half.

Narayan Das - 5/10

The Pune full-back had a very bad time against Velez and almost made a costly error in his own box. Das was good offensively for his team. At times, he was able to deal with Velez too.

Mohamed Sissoko - 4/10

The former Liverpool man made several clean short passes, other than that he didn't offer much to his team. Sissoko was yellow carded for throwing Velez to the ground at the end of first half. The player should have been sent-off for the offence. He didn't do much in the second half.

Lenny Rodrigues - 6/10

The Indian midfielder made an important clearance after his teammate Narayan Das made an error inside the box. The player also made some interceptions in the midfield. One of the best moments of the match was Lenny hitting the bar from long range.

Jonatan Lucca - 3/10

The worst player of the night. Poor passes, poor set-pieces, poor shots. Lucca didn't even have one good moment in the game. The midfielder was also booked for a foul on Romaric. The 22-year-old was replaced by Pitu in the 75th minute of the game.

Arata Izumi - 4/10

Izumi just can't get rid of his poor form. The midfielder was silent on the night and had a very poor touch. The 34-year-old was shown the yellow card for a foul on the goalscorer of the night Romaric.

Momar Ndoye - N/A

The pacy forward was forced to get substituted in the 28th minute of the game due to an injury. Ndoye's loss was a huge one for the Stallions.

Anibal Zurdo - 5/10

The Pune striker was nowhere near his best on Tuesday. He gave away the ball cheaply at times and was not sharp enough. However, Anibal was able to cause trouble to the opponents. The 33-year-old was furious after he was replaced by Dramane Traore in the 86th minute of the game.

Substitutes

Gustavo Oberman - 5/10

The Argentine came on as a substitute for an injured Ndoye. His most notable contribution of the night was a shot on target, which was saved by Pal. Two crosses he made were very inaccurate.

Pitu - 6/10

The Spaniard replaced a very poor Lucca in the 75th minute of the game and did much more than him in just twenty minutes. The midfielder had two shots on target, of which one forced Subrata Pal to make a very good save.

Dramane Traore - N/A

The forward replaced Anibal in the 86th minute of the game. Traore couldn't help his team equalise.
