The 18-year-old was awarded his first ever Indian Super League start by Steve Coppell, and the young lad from Sikkim did live up to the challenge.

Thatal and Uche combined well at times to disturb the balance of the Delhi side. Dynamos had to mark Thatal with more than one man on a few occasions which speaks volumes about the potential of the youngster.

Thatal's pace out run Narayan Das' on the right flank on numerous occasions. He created a few goal-scoring chances for the team as well when he found Balwant Singh and Kalu Uche clear on goal but both of them failed to finish off those respective goal-chances.

Most of the ATK crosses were coming in from the right and that's exactly where Thatal was a menace for the Dynamos defence.
