Subrata Pal 8: Though the ball hit the woodwork once and Marcinho missed a sitter, yet you have to give credit to the veteran for performing consistently throughout the game.

Sameehg Doutie 8: The lifeline of Jamshedpur FC’s attack, Doutie was all over the field. The South African moved swiftly up and down the pitch and provided crosses at regular intervals.

Trindade 7: Probably got the maximum number of chances to score, but never made it look that he could score. Lack of confidence might have cost him in their opening game.

Anas 7: Rock solid at the back, the most expensive Indian defender showed why he is one of the best. Though it was not his best game, yet he did his work perfectly, just as the doctor ordered.

Mehtab 5: Apart from a few moments, Mehtab had a pretty quiet game. He enjoyed less of ball possession and never made an impact on the game.

Memo 5: Did not have a huge impact on the game, but gave the occasional aid to the midfielders to feed them the balls for a possible attack.

Souvik Chakrabarty 6: Usually plays as a midfielder, Souvik started as a side-back in the match. The West Bengal-born player did not disappoint as he did his job pretty well.

Souvik Ghosh 7: One of the most prominent side-backs in the country, Ghosh was kept busy on the sidelines and was the first choice player for taking the set-pieces. He will definitely be of great help to the debutant' in the remaining matches.

Tiri 8: Already a known face in the Indian Super League, Tiri lived up to his name once again. He was at the heart of the defence, making it hard for the opponents and never game a scope to let the ball pass through.

Azuka 7: Azuka was another architect in the attack, apart from Sameehg Doutie, creating chances. Considering it was Jamshedpur FC’s first game, the Nigerian International is going to be an asset for the ‘Men of Steel’ for the rest of the matches.

Jerry 5: Got a few balls and also looked positive. He would be looking to impress in the upcoming matches as he did not have a great game.

Substitutes

Andre Bikey 4: Got a red care right after coming on, but was a tab bit unlucky to get it, as replays showed that barely made contact with the opposition player.
