TP Rehenesh 2/10 - Received a red card in the first half for his mindless tackle on Mark Sifneos. That was his only contribution tonight.

Sambinha 4/10 - The centre-back made it far too easy for Kerala. He was slow to react to the through balls and found himself in all sorts of undesirable situations.

Nirmal Chettri 4/10 - The right back's positioning was all over the place and Vineeth gave him a torrid time with his clever movements and runs.

Jose Goncalves 6/10 - The captain didn't do much wrong tonight. However, he was let down by his teammates in the backline. You could argue he could have done better to stop Vineeth's header.

Seiminlen Doungel 4/10 - Apart from making a couple of crunching tackles, the winger failed to impress.

Marcinho 6/10 - Marcinho tried and tried extremely hard to find an opening. He was a livewire on the left wing and whipped in numerous crosses. Unfortunately, the quality was missing.

Halicharan Narzary 3/10 - Just as he was beginning to get into his groove, Narzary was sacrificed for the second goalkeeper. It was a pity.

Reagan Singh 4/10 - The left-back was consistently targeted tonight. As the game progressed, Kerala kept loading numbers down his flank and he couldn't do much to stop the onslaught.

Rowllin Borges 4/10 - The midfielder was a shadow of his usual self. He failed to impose himself in the middle of the park and looked a tad flat tonight.

Martin Diaz 3/10 - Known to keep things under check, every time Kerala attacked, Martin Diaz found himself chasing the players rather than intercepting passes.

Danilo Lopes 6/10 - Made some clever runs in and around the box. His close control in tight spaces enabled him to include his teammates into the attack. The striker was arguably the best player for the Highlanders tonight.

Substitutes

Ravi Kumar - 5/10 - The substitute goalkeeper made some decent saves and ensured his side were always in with a chance.

Luis Alfonso 2/10 - Came on for Marcinho didn't do much to impact proceedings.

Fortes 6/10 - Replaced the captain for the final fifteen minutes of the match and Fortes created some real danger inside Kerala's box in the final minutes of the game.
