#4 Winger Mandar Rao Dessai deployed as left back
FC Goa coach, Sergio Lobera pulled off a Guardiola when he decided to deploy speedy winger, Mandar Rao Dessai as a left back for tonight's game. At the start of the season, Lobera proclaimed his side will always play attacking football. He surely wasn't kidding.
We can't remember the last time Mandar played as a full back. Defensively, he looked suspect all night long. In fact, he was primarily responsible for the Highlanders second goal.
When Seiminlen Doungel was expertly put through by Marcinho, he had acres of empty space ahead of him down the right and Mandar who should have been marking him was nowhere in sight. The makeshift left back attempted to desperately track back and make amends for his poor positioning. But by then, Doungel had already chipped the ball over Laxmikant Kattimani to give his side a crucial lead.
