Kerala and Mumbai were inseparable at the end

Mumbai City FC

The two teams played out a thrilling draw

Amrinder Singh - 6/10

Amrinder had a fairly decent day between the sticks for the Islanders and managed to make a few good saves in the first half.

Mehrajuddin Wadoo - 5/10

Wadoo, deployed in a back three by coach Alexander Guimaraes, did not enjoy a majority of the first half due to the swift movement of the hosts during the initial stages of the game.

Lucian Goian - 7/10

Yet another brilliant display from the Mumbai skipper on the night, Goian made sure that his side did not concede a second goal and his experience helped them in keeping them focused.

Gerson Vieira - 6/10

Not the greatest of impacts was made by the midfielder on the occasion when he was deployed as a defender. He often stepped into midfield but could not influence the game like he did during his last outing.

Davinder Singh - 5/10

The youngster had a hard time coming up against Vineeth in the first half and was restricted to his own half for the majority of the game.

Achille Emana - 7/10

Emana played an important role in midfield and also set Everton Santos free on the flanks in the buildup to their equalizer.

Sehnaj Singh - 6/10

The midfielder was physical as usual and tried his best to disrupt the tempo of the game on a few occasions. However, he was far from his best on the night.

Abhinas Ruidas - 6/10

Ruidas continued his decent start to the season with a good display in the second half. He was made to work hard defensively on a few occasions and managed to do well.

Everton Santos - 8/10

Everton was the Islanders' best player on the night and started the second half in scintillating form. The winger managed to beat Rachubka in the beginning of the second half but was denied by the post. However, he worked his socks off for the goal and put it on a plate for Balwant to pounce on.

Rafa Jorda - 5/10

The striker would have enjoyed being more involved in the buildup play but he failed to stand out despite possessing a physical superiority.

Balwant Singh - 8/10
