Bengaluru FC
Gurpreet Singh Sandhu (8/10) - The Bengaluru FC custodian was called into action a couple of times in the first half. He produced a great save to keep out a long-range shot from Ryan Taylor. The Indian No.1 who was barraged by the ATK attackers did his best to keep all the efforts out and even won the man of the match award.
Rahul Bheke (6.5/10) - The defender who has been playing as a centre back for a while, was asked to play the role of a right back in this match. He was incredible in his own penalty area as he made three crucial last-ditch tackles to stop ATK from equalising in this match. He was sent off in the second half after being booked twice in a space of four minutes.
John Johnson (6.5/10) - The Englishman returned to the central defence as he paired alongside Juanan after a long time. He had a lot on his hands as Paterson and Rane kept attacking the Blues but did well to contain them.
Juanan (6.5/10) - The Spaniard was a strong presence in the Bengaluru defence as he dealt with the threat of striker Martin Paterson in the box. He made a lot of clearances and tackles to keep the ATK players at bay.
Subhasish Bose (6/10) - The left-back for Bengaluru FC was kept busy throughout the match by Bipin Singh. He had very few opportunities to help out the forwards of his team as he had to resort to defensive duties for the most part of the game.
Lenny Rodrigues (6.5/10) - The Indian played as the holding midfielder just in front of the defence. He had a busy night as ATK kept the pressure on the Bengaluru side after going down early in the match.
Erik Paartalu (7/10) - The towering Australian played centrally alongside Lenny Rodrigues in the midfield. He was a constant threat from the set pieces and got an assist to his credit when put Miku through on goal.
Edu Garcia (6.5/10) - The Spanish playmaker was the creative source for the Bengaluru side with his passing from the midfield. He was replaced by Dimas Delgado in the second half as Roca made a couple of changes after Bheke's red card.
Udanta Singh (6/10) - The pacey winger operated on the right flank for Bengaluru as he kept Keegan Perreira busy on the flank. He was taken off after the hour mark as Boithang Haokip replaced him in the attack.
Miku (7.5/10) - The top scorer for the away side was quiet for the most part of the match but he did manage to get his name on the scoresheet when he broke on the counter and slotted his effort past Debjit Majumder.
Sunil Chhetri (5/10) - The Bengaluru FC skipper had a subdued first half as he was seldom in action and had a rare off-day. He was replaced in the second half when Nishu Kumar came on in his place after Rahul Bheke was sent off.
Substitutes:
Boithang Haokip (4.5/10) - The former Mumbai City FC man came on for Udanta Singh in the second half of the match.
Nishu Kumar (4.5/10) - The left-back came on for captain Sunil Chhetri after Rahul Bheke received marching orders.
Dimas Delgado (4/10) - The Spaniard came on to replace fellow countryman Edu Garcia as Bengaluru aimed to hold on to their lead after going down to ten men.
