Paul Rachubka - 6/10

Rachubka made a few good saves on the night and showed excellent positioning and command of his 18-yard box. Kerala were unlucky to concede that penalty and Rachubka could do nothing to prevent Chennaiyin from scoring.

Rino Anto - 5/10

A disappointing day for the local boy who had to come off in the first half due to a hamstring problem. Rino will be hoping that it isn't anything serious.

Sandhesh Jhingan - 8/10

Jhingan was excellent in the air and showed great composure throughout the night. The defender was unlucky to concede the penalty after the replay showed that the ball hit him under the armpit. However, he made amends by surging forward and providing the assist for Vineeth's equalizer at the other end.

Nemanja Lakic-Pesic - 6/10

The Serbian also enjoyed a fairly decent game and was hardly troubled by the Chennaiyin attackers who found his physical presence to be too much on the night.

Lalruatthara - 7/10

The young full-back did really well to keep Jude very quiet throughout the game and completed his defensive duties with diligence. The defender is rightfully earning the plaudits for his impressive performances.

Siam Hanghal - 6/10

Hanghal was assigned with the tough task of keeping up with a vibrant Anirudh Thapa and a powerhouse in the form of Augusto. The midfielder did not make a lot of mistakes but he was made to work hard for the result.

Wes Brown - 7/10

The former Manchester United man was not at his influential best from midfield but he did extremely well when he was pitted against Augusto. Brown kept the ball cleanly and distributed the ball patiently and effectively.

Jackichand Singh - 5/10

Jacki would be disappointed with his miss in the first half after he had just the goal-keeper to beat during the chance. The winger failed to make any mark in the game whatsover and was rightfully taken off in the second half.

Courage Pekuson - 6/10

The Ghanian covered a lot of the ground and forced Karanjit into making his first save in the second half with a brilliant strike from outside the area. Pekuson's end product is still a worrying factor for his team and he will be hoping to improve on the same.

CK Vineeth - 8/10

Kerala's hitman was at the right place at the right time to rescue a point for the visitors on the night and continued his goal-scoring form from their last game. Apart from scoring the equalizer, Vineeth did his best to keep the Chennaiyin defenders on their toes and showed impressive workkrate.

Mark Sifneos - 6/10

The Dutchman was pitted against one of the league's best defenders in the form of Sereno and was allowed very little freedom infront of goal as expected. Sifneos did his best to hold the ball up and bring his teammates into the game.


Substitutes

Samuel Shadap - 6/10

The right-back did well after coming on for the injured Rino Anto but he offered very little going forward and was focused on staying in his own half.

Loken Meitei - 5/10

Meitei replaced Jackichand Singh in the 77th minute and could not offer anything more to the side.

Iain Hume - N/A

Came on in the 90th minute for Wes Brown.
