Having made six changes to his starting line up tonight, BFC coach Albert Roca decided to position his captain, Sunil Chhetri a tad deeper than his usual position. Marking him was the hard tackling, Ahmed Jahouh.

Goa's central defensive midfielder was omnipresent in the middle of the park, making several crucial interceptions and tackles. He coerced Sunil further up the pitch and as a result, the Indian found it harder to get on the ball.

Jahouh was just a yellow card away from a one-game suspension. But that did not deter him one bit. The Moroccan was his usual aggressive self and hounded Bengaluru's players all night long.
