ISL 2018-19, Bengaluru FC 3-0 FC Goa: Hits and Flops from the game 

#3 Hit: Ahmed Jahouh

Jahouh was unlucky to have rattled the

cross bar

early on

A silver lining for FC Goa was the presence of Ahmed Jahouh at the heart of defence. On paper, he was meant to play at the number eight position, but Jahouh slotted in as another center back - in between Mourtada Fall and Carlos Pena.

And boy, he put in a fantastic shift. Jahouh was, by a good mile, ahead of the rest in terms of the physical game. He was sturdy and robust at the back. The Moroccan won the aerial duels and most importantly, played to his strengths by trusting his instincts.

He sprayed passes all across the pitch, and despite the presence of four-five blue shirts around, Jahouh exhibited Lobera's philosophy by spearheading the build-up play from the back and carving open the BFC midfield.

He had a crack on goal from about 35 yards out as well, but Jahouh smashed the underside of the bar, which proved to be the closest Goa came to opening the scoring in the first half.
