Kamaljit 6/10 - Pune's keeper didn't have much to do on the night. He distributed the ball well and had no chance to save Bipin's stinging free kick. He also made some decent saves.

Sahni 7/10 - Baljit played right back tonight and was surprisingly solid in his unusual position. While he didn't contribute much to attack, he was reliable in defence.

Gurtej 7/10 - Gurtej Singh adopted a no-nonsense approach as his team's center back and it paid dividends. He rarely gave ATK's front line a sniff at goal and was a calming presence at the back.

Gomez 6/10 - Rafael Gomez partnered well with Gurtej and never let ATK's creative players settle on the ball. He made his presence felt with some hard, proper tackles.

Fanai 7/10 - The left-back had the measure of ATK's wingers and was largely responsible for keeping things quiet on the left wing.

Isaac 6/10 - Isaac kept it simple tonight and let his teammates shine. He played simple, straightforward passes and rarely put a foot wrong.

Tebar 7/10 - Marcus Tebar may not dominate the headlines but he played a vital role tonight for Pune. He was responsible for transitioning his team's defense to attack and did the job extremely well.

Rohit 7/10 - As a midfielder, Rohit Kumar didn't do a lot wrong tonight. He was solid in the middle of the park and did extremely well to tower over his marker to head home from a corner and give Pune a crucial lead.

Carlos 5/10 - One of Pune's quieter players tonight, Diego Carlos found it hard to keep up with the tempo of the match.

Marcelinho 9/10 - Pune's main attacker was a constant threat in the final third and caused a host of problems for ATK's back line. He was deservedly rewarded with two goals and chipped in with an assist as well

Alfaro 8/10 - Questions about his partnership with Marcelinho were put to rest tonight. Alfaro's off the ball movements were impressive and he did well to move into the empty pockets. He topped off his night with a splendid close-range effort.

SUBSTITUTES

Kean Lewis 4/10 - Slowly but steadily, Kean is finding his feet after struggling with a few niggles early in the season.

Jonatan Lucca 5/10 - The influential midfielder was surprisingly benched tonight but came on and did well to control the midfield.

Damir Grgic 4/10 - The imposing Croatian center back came on late on to keep things tight at the back and did his job well.
