Mourtada Fall won two back-to-back 'Hero of the Match' awards against Mumbai City FC in the two legs of the ISL semi-finals. He brought his A-game into the finals against Bengaluru FC and only let them take only three shots on target.

Even the hitman Miku who toyed him in the previous encounter had no luck. In the extra-time of the second half of regulation time, Udanta Singh laid a brilliant pass towards Miku on the half-volley. Miku controlled it with his chest before taking a shot but, Mourtada Fall put his body on the line to ensure the shot only hits his face before going out for a corner.

The Senegalese also had 25 clearances to his name and a 90% passing accuracy. Moreover, his 96 touches also contributed to 12% of the entire team.
