#1 Roca's decision to shuffle the pack backfires

Bengalu
Roca made a number of changes to his line-up

This was the second instance this season where the Bengaluru coach's decision to shuffle the starting eleven backfired. He did so against FC Goa earlier in the season and that led to a damaging defeat. Today was another of those days.

Braulio played as part of the front four with Chhetri, Edu and Miku while Lenny Rodrigues and Delgado manned the midfield. That front quartet never quite got it going today as they struggled to find any rhythm. Miku playing behind the striker also saw him unable to influence the game to his liking.

Roca's concerns were valid; Bengaluru have a hectic month coming up with AFC Cup duties also in the pipeline. However, the fact that his side seem to miss a beat when he changes things up will be of concern to him.

The Dynamos' win today was fully deserved as they managed to outplay Bengaluru.
