#4 Flop: Brandon Fernandes

Goa made quite a few mistakes at the back, but those were not the ones that were brutally punished by the home team. Overall, Goa were quite decent at the back and while pressing, albeit the score line suggests otherwise.

It was the forward play, their most lethal weapon, that took a mighty blow during key intervals of the game. And Brandon Fernandes was probably the antagonist of the same run of events.

The winger simply had no product to what he performed. He was seen in the inverted areas of the pitch, but there was nothing to show apart from side-way passes and misplaced through balls and crosses.

He was in key positions many a time. Once, Coro, as he always does to bring the wingers in for a cross by dropping deep, displayed exquisite technique, drove forward and split the home defence with a through ball to Brandon. The latter took a heavy touch and as you'd have guessed, squandered the golden opportunity.

Twice more, he had a lot to aim at, but due to feebleness in his strike, Fernandes couldn't make a telling impact. He summed up his and Goa's outing with a horrible miss at the end from about five yards out, when Gurpreet was not even inside the frame.
