FC Goa
Laxmikant Kattimani (6/10) - The Goan keeper had a decent night between the sticks except for the fumble that led to the Vineeth goal. He was confident in his collections from crosses put in by the Kerala players and kept the Kerala counter-attacks in control.
Seriton Fernandes (6.5/10) - The right-back for the visitors was busy on both ends of the pitch as he kept the Kerala left-back Lalruatthara busy with his runs on the overlap. Fernandes was good in defence
Sergio Juste (7/10) - Sergio Juste was a rock in the Goan defence tonight as he organized the defensive line for the away side. He blocked a lot of attempts from the Kerala attackers and was strong in the air to keep out any threat of aerial balls into the Goan box.
Mohammed Ali (6.5/10) - The young Indian defender was a strong presence alongside Juste in the defence as the home side kept attacking on the counter. He did well to intercept a lot of through-balls and kept the threat of Iain Hume in check.
Narayan Das (7/10) - The India international left-back was a constant source of trouble for the Kerala defenders with his overlapping runs on the left flank. He combined well with Mandar Rao Desai ahead of him to put in crosses for Coro in the Kerala box.
Ahmed Jahouh (7/10) - The Moroccan midfielder plied his trade just in front of the Goa defence as he played in the pivot role, connecting play between defence and attack. He was a tough man to beat for Kerala midfielders and he spread the ball well around the park with great diagonal balls for the wingers.
Edu Bedia (8/10) - The hard-working Edu Bedia was everywhere in the midfield as he moved around the pitch to attack and defend whenever called upon. He broke up and started several moves for the away side. Bedia got his name on the scoresheet when he headed in a corner in the 77th minute.
Mandar Rao Desai (7.5/10) - The Goan winger provided the assist for the first Goa goal when his cross was finished by Coro in the 7th minute. He was constantly on the move on the left flank and kept Rino Anto and later Wes Brown on their toes with his incisive runs.
Manuel Lanzarote (7/10) - The Spaniard played his usual creative role with Coro as the target man ahead of him. His movement and passing in the midfield was a constant threat for the Kerala Blasters defenders.
Brandon Fernandes (7.5/10) - The former Mumbai City FC midfielder was a lively presence in the Goa midfield and operated behind the attack for the visitors. He created the first goal for FC Goa with an incisive through-ball for Mandar Rao Desai. Brandon Fernandes put in the corner that was headed into the goal by Edu Bedia
Ferran Corominas (8/10) - Coro took the lead in the top scorers' list with 10 goals to his name when he finished off Mandar Rao Desai's cross early on in the game. He kept the defenders occupied with his runs into the box and even fell back a bit in the midfield to kickstart attacks.
Substitutes:
Manvir Singh (4.5/10) - The young Indian international was put in place of Mandar Rao Desai to add some pace to the Goa attack as Kerala defenders grew weary at the end.
Manuel Arana (4/10) - The Spaniard came on for Lanzarote in the 88th minute as Sergio Lobera ran down the clock with Goa in the lead.
Pronay Halder (4/10) - The hard-tackling midfielder was put in for the last three minutes of added time as FC Goa aimed to hold on to the lead.
