#3 Raphael Augusto the perfect fit for the Bengaluru midfield

Raphael Augusto was adjudged as the man of the match, and we couldn't agree more. He was a delight to watch with his receiving, passing and hold up play all being a treat to watch. Creating space even in the most closed confined spaces was something which was a pleasure for the Bengaluru faithful.

Time and again he split open the NorthEast United FC defence with his through balls. His presence in the middle of the park meant that the Northeast United FC midfielders Leudo and Lalthathanga Khawlhring didn't get a moment's peace.

His forward movements also meant that the opposition midfielders weren't able to do anything creative as they were busy with defending. His link-up play with Chhetri, Onwu and Udanta was superb.

Having already helped Chennaiyin FC win the Indian Super League, the Brazilian will be hoping to work his magic with Bengaluru FC.
