#3 Flop- Marcelo Pereira

Marcelinho didn't have the best of games today.
Marcelinho didn't have the best of games today.

The former golden boot winner of the Indian Super League was probably the only hope for Hyderabad to win the game today. He started the game brilliantly weaving past the NorthEast United defence as if they didn't even exist, but Subhasis Roy Choudhury saved his shot. If the fans and pundits thought that his heroics early in the first half was the trailer for what was to come today from Marcelinho, then they couldn't have been more wrong.

In the first 15 minutes of the game, Marcelinho was superb, and it looked like the Brazilian was hungry for goals. But, as the match progressed, he found himself more and more isolated as he failed to make a mark in the game. It was challenging even to find Marcelinho in the second half as he hardly got a touch of the ball and faded progressively as the game progressed.
