Bengaluru FC 1-1 FC Goa: Player Ratings from engaging ISL 2021-22 fixture

Bengaluru FC and FC Goa played out a 1-1 draw in Match 63 of the 2021-22 ISL season.

The Gaurs took the lead late in the first half when Dylan Fox headed home at the far post unmarked from a Jorge Ortiz cross. Marco Pezzaiuoli's side responded well in the second half, eventually getting themselves level through Sunil Chhetri's perfectly placed header.

Both ISL teams created a few chances to win the game, but couldn't take them as the match ended in a stalemate. On that note, here are the player ratings from an engaging encounter:

Bengaluru FC ratings against FC Goa

Gurpreet Singh Sandhu - 6/10

Sandhu made one good save from Alberto Noguera's effort, but had little else to do. He should've marshalled his defence better for Fox's goal, though.

---

Ashique Kuruniyan - 6/10

Kuruniyan was troubled a bit by Ortiz and Seriton Fernandes, but managed to put in a decent shift.

---

Pratik Chaudhari - 6/10

Chaudhari improved after the arrival of Parag Shrivas to recover from a shaky start. He helped Bengaluru FC move the ball forward in the second half as they looked for an equaliser.

---

Wungngayam Muirang - 6/10

Muirang was decent against FC Goa, but his team looked much more composed in defence after his departure in the second half.

Naorem Roshan Singh - 7/10

Roshan Singh continued his impressive run of form for Bengaluru FC at this season's ISL with another excellent all-round display. He laid out a key pass, had a shot on target, and made a game-high eight tackles.

---

Danish Farooq - 6/10

Farooq helped his defence out on multiple occasions, tracking back and making three tackles against FC Goa. The Blues needed a little more from him going forward, though.

---

Bruno Ramires - 6.5/10

Ramires shielded his defence very well, and got into good positions to snuff out the Gaurs' attacks. However, he was partially at fault for the goal they conceded, allowing Fox to sneak in behind him to score easily.

---

Iman Basafa - 5.5/10

Basafa struggled to impact the game going forward, and was substituted at half-time.

---

Sunil Chhetri - 6.5/10

Chhetri took his landmark 48th ISL goal extremely well, guiding a perfectly struck header past Dheeraj Singh in the FC Goa goal. He then proceeded to hit the crossbar late on as well, but couldn't impact the game much otherwise.

---

Cleiton Silva - 6.5/10

Silva worked hard for Bengaluru FC, but didn't receive enough service in the first half. He grew into the game after the break, though, ending with four key passes.

---

Prince Ibarra - 7/10

Ibarra's cross for the Blues' equaliser was a thing of beauty, and he offered much more than that. The forward didn't take any shots against FC Goa, but laid out four key passes, and also made four tackles to help his team.

---

Bengaluru FC Substitutes

Suresh Singh Wangjam - 6.5/10

Wangjam replaced Basafa at half-time, and was an improvement, as he helped his team dominate the midfield battle.

---

Parag Shrivas - 6.5/10

Shrivas came on for Muirang in the 57th minute, and revitalised Bengaluru FC's defence. He constantly swept up and disrupted FC Goa's attacks, in a solid 30-minute cameo.

---

Udanta Singh - 6/10

Singh displayed some quick feet and tidy passing against a tired Gaurs defence, after replacing Ibarra in the 81st minute.

---

Rohit Kumar - 6/10

Kumar was brought on for Farooq in the 82nd minute, and showed more attacking initiative than the midfielder.

---

Damaitphang Lyngdoh - N/A

Lyngdoh came on deep in stoppage time to replace the injured Kuruniyan.

Dheeraj Singh Moirangthem - 6.5/10

FC Goa custodian Dheeraj Singh was mostly steady with his handling against Bengaluru FC, but he did have a couple of nervy moments. He was completely helpless for the Blues' goal, but made a fabulous save off Roshan Singh.

---

Aibanbha Dohling - 6/10

Dohling was reasonably solid in defence, making one excellent tackle to stop Ibarra in the second half.

---

Dylan Fox - 7/10

Fox did well to sneak in behind the Bengaluru FC defence to score his goal. He also dealt largely well with the Blues' frontline, but was nowhere to be seen for Chhetri's goal. Fox wasted a couple of chances in attack as well.

---

Anwar Ali - 6.5/10

It was a solid display from Ali after a poor showing in FC Goa's last game against SC East Bengal. He also recorded a key pass on the night.

---

Savior Gama - 6/10

Gama had some bright moments going forward, and also linked up well at times with Jorge Ortiz. However, he was easily dribbled past by Prince Ibarra and Roshan Singh on a few occasions. One of those instances led to Bengaluru FC's equaliser.

---

Glan Martins - 5/10

Martins, unfortunately, exited the field with an injury just 13 minutes into the game.

---

Edu Bedia - 6/10

Bedia didn't have much influence in the game, and was often restricted to passing the ball sideways and back to his defence. However, he did lay out two key passes and was a threat from set-pieces too.

---

Seriton Fernandes - 5.5/10

Fernandes often charged forward to join the attack, but had no shots or key passes to show against Bengaluru FC. His decision-making was poor at times, but he did a decent job defensively.

---

Alberto Noguera - 6/10

The Blues did brilliantly to limit Noguera's threat. The midfielder did play a role in FC Goa's goal, but couldn't do much else on a largely quiet night.

---

Devendra Murgaonkar - 6/10

Murgaonkar simply didn't do enough going forward, ending the game with just one shot, which wasn't on target. The Gaurs desperately needed him to do more going forward.

---

Jorge Ortiz - 7/10

As always, Ortiz was a handful at times for Bengaluru FC, but they neutralised his effect in the second half, ensuring he took no shots. Nevertheless, the FC Goa forward managed an assist and three key passes, and won a game-high five fouls.

---

FC Goa Substitutes

Princeton Rebello - 6.5/10

Rebello replaced Martins early on, and did his job in the centre of the park well. He constantly looked to push his team forward, and also helped break down a couple of Bengaluru FC attacks.

---

Sanson Pereira - 6/10

Pereira came on for Gama in the 67th minute, and offered more defensive solidity down the left. He was, however, suspect going forward.

---

Brandon Fernandes - 6/10

Fernandes replaced Murgaonkar in the 84th minute to make his long-awaited return. He won a couple of fouls, but couldn't impact the game.

---

Leander D'Cunha - 6/10

D'Cunha came on for Seriton Fernandes in the 84th minute, and helped his team keep their shape defensively.
