Jerry Mawihmingthanga has already made a name for himself in Jamshedpur. With his raw pace and technical ability, he is an automatic choice for the right-wing position. He can dismantle opposition defence on his own and create chances with ease. ATK left-back Ricky had a tough time in stopping Jerry. He dribbled, cut inside and made crosses on a regular basis.

But the performance of Michael Soosairaj was exceptional. One of the major concerns for ATK is their right-back position. Aiborlang Khongjee is still adapting to life in ATK. It didn’t take much time for Soosairaj to read Khongjee’s mind and he started attacking from the left flank with his tremendous pace and exceptional skills.

As the game went on, Soosairaj was getting more confident and he threatened ATK defence every time with the ball on his feet. He made four crosses in the match and created two beautiful chances. One of which was missed by Cidoncha from inside the box quite surprisingly.

Soosairaj somehow became ineffective in the second half and was substituted.
