Naveen Kumar (5/10) - Naveen Kumar returned from suspension to take the spot between the sticks for FC Goa. He had a poor first half as he conceded two goals from close-range headers. The second half was slightly better for the Goa keeper but he ended up conceding a late goal after a defensive mishap.

Narayan Das (6/10) - The Indian international made runs on the flank providing able support to the attackers up ahead. He was substituted just before the hour mark when Brandon Fernandes came on to replace him.

Sergio Juste (5.5/10) - The Spaniard manned the FC Goa defence alongside 'Sana' as they had a tough task of dealing with the Chennaiyin FC attack. He made way for Ali in the second half as Lobera made final changes to the away lineup.

Chinglensana Singh (5/10) - The young central defender played alongside Juste in the backline but had a poor night finding it tough to contain Jeje inside the box. The defence ended up conceding three goals in the match.

Seriton Fernandes (6/10) - The right back for the visitors had a busy night on the pitch as he moved up and down the flank throughout the match. He had the tough task of dealing with Gregory Nelson on his flank.

Pronay Halder (5.5/10) - The tough-tackling defensive midfielder played as the first line of defence against the Chennaiyin midfield. He had a tough time tonight and was subbed in the second half of the match.

Ahmed Jahouh (6.5/10) - The midfielder controlled the flow of play for the Goan side as he distributed the ball from the centre of the park. He was strong in his tackles as well and won back possession on many occasions.

Hugo Boumous (6/10) - The midfielder came in place of Edu Bedia in the midfield for Goa in the lone change made by Lobera from the first leg. He played behind the strikers and had a decent outing tonight.

Manuel Lanzarote (6/10) - The Spanish midfielder was a shadow of his usual self as he struggled to get going throughout the match. He was on setpiece duty for the away side but could not provide the perfect delivery for the attackers tonight.

Mandar Rao Desai (6.5/10) - The Goan lad contributed heavily in the initial attacking onslaught by Goa having two close chances on goal but was denied by Karanjit Singh. He was always a threat coming in from the left flank but could not manage to score despite a number of efforts.

Ferran Corominas (5/10) - The league's top scorer had a rare off night tonight as he struggled to get past the organized Chennaiyin FC defence throughout the game.
