Left-back Narayan Das was the least performing player on the pitch as his side went down to the table-toppers ATK. Odisha had an opportunity to leave their footprints in the playoffs, but the whole side, including the experienced defender, succumbed to third successive defeat.

The Indian international was lashed out throughout the game by ATK right wing-back Prabir Das. Since the hosts are reliant on the creativity of full-backs, Narayan Das was presented with everlasting pressure and running through the right-wing channel.

During the early moments of the game, Narayan was in no man's land to deal with a cross. Prabir produced a decent delivery to pick out Edu Garcia inside the penalty box. The Spanish international slid down in the hopes of connecting the ball, but it had more pace than he would have liked.

Man-marking Krishna during set-pieces was another task handed out to Narayan. But, the Fiji international got the better off him by running away and slotting the ball inside the back of the net for the first time. It was a night to forget for Narayan Das.
