Debjit Majumder (7/10) - The former Mohun Bagan keeper had a busy night between the sticks for the away side. He was constantly called into action and did well to keep Bengaluru at bay but was beaten by a long-ranger from Sunil Chhetri.

Keegan Perreira (6.5/10) - The former Bengaluru man was on his toes throughout the ninety minutes having to deal with the pacy Udanta Singh and thus, was mostly resorted to his own half manning the defensive line.

Tom Thorpe (7/10) - The Manchester United academy graduate was a rock in the centre of the ATK defence and managed to keep Miku in check. He was a constant threat during setpieces and came close to scoring on a couple of occasions.

Jordi Montel (6.5/10) - The Spaniard centre-back had a poor first half as he was caught many times with through-balls and runs by the Bengaluru attackers. His performance in the second was better and included a last-ditch tackle as ATK did not allow Bengaluru to impose their control.

Prabir Das (7/10) - The ATK right-back was up against Sunil Chhetri on the right wing and thus was quieter on the attacking front compared to his usual standards.

Conor Thomas (7/10) - The English midfielder played the sweeping role tonight in the middle of the park and put in a lot of strong tackles to put an end to many of the Bengaluru attacks.

Shankar Sampingraj (6.5/10) - The young defensive midfielder played just in front of the ATK defence. He made a desperate goal-line clearance from Rahul Bheke's effort. Shankar was substituted at the halfway mark

Rupert Nongrum (6.5/10) - The Northeast man came very close to giving ATK the lead but his effort was blocked by the Bengaluru defenders. He made good runs along the flanks and put in a couple of crosses for the ATK attackers.

Zequinha (7/10) - The Portuguese winger was the source of many chances for the away side with his attacking play. He tried to play in a lot of aerial through balls as he looked threatening but was taken off at the halfway mark by Sheringham.

Robin Singh (5.5/10) - The former India international had a poor outing tonight after returning from his injury as he had no positive contribution for the ATK side. He did not have a single shot on the Bengaluru goal and couldn't prove a credible threat during the setpieces.

Robbie Keane (7.5/10) - The Irishman was the lone crusader in the ATK attack with his runs and often fell back into the midfield to get involved in the attacking process. He had a good effort in the second half that was saved by Gurpreet Singh Sandhu

Substitutes:

Ryan Taylor (6/10) - The Englishman was brought on by Sheringham at the start of the second half and played a defensive midfield role for the away side. He tried to find the runs of ATK wingers and too all the setpieces.

Bipin Singh (6/10) - Singh also came on after the first half break and slotted into the midfield in place of Shankar but in an attacking capacity. He had a chance to score when he latched onto a rebound from Keane's shot but failed to put it past Sandhu in the Bengaluru goal.

Hitesh Sharma (5.5/10) - The former Mumbai FC midfielder was put in by Sheringham to insert pace into the midfield. The youngster made a couple of good runs behind the Bengaluru defence but could not manage a shot on target.
