FC Goa demolished Chennaiyin FC 5-0 in an Indian Super League (ISL) fixture earlier tonight (February 9). Jorge Ortiz netted a hat-trick after Makan Chote's opener, with Narayan Das scoring an own goal in between.

The Marina Machans looked devoid of ideas and were never in the game. The Gaurs took advantage of the slopiness, scoring after just six minutes and never looking back. Had FC Goa not taken their foot off the pedal in the second half, they could have added more to their tally.

Here are the player ratings for both ISL teams:


Chennaiyin FC

Debjit Majumder - 5/10

Majumder was helpless for all five goals, but didn't command his box well enough.


Narayan Das - 5/10

Das started and ended the game decently, even managing two tackles. He was put in a terrible position by the rest of the Chennaiyin FC defense for his own goal.


Slavko Damjanovic - 5.5/10

Damjanovic tried hard to keep FC Goa at bay, but received little support from his fellow defenders. The Gaurs bombarded him with crosses and he ultimately wilted away.


Deepak Devrani - 5/10

Devrani should've protected his flank better, especially for the second goal, and was caught ball-watching on more than one occasion. He did make a couple of decent blocks, but it was a poor performance from him overall.


Jerry Lalrinzuala - 6/10

Lalrinzuala didn't offer anything going forward, but he did a decent job defensively whenever called upon. He managed a team-high four tackles on a night where Chennaiyin FC seemed to get nowhere near the ball at times.


Anirudh Thapa - 4.5/10

Thapa had a terrible first half where his passing lacked fluency under constant pressure from FC Goa. He also unfortunately deflected the ball into Ortiz's path for the Gaurs' third goal and was hooked off at half-time with an injury.


Ariel Borysiuk - 5.5/10

Borysiuk, like Thapa, was completely blocked off by the opposition midfielders and sorely needed Vladimir Koman next to him to sort things out. He did manage a shot and a tackle though.


Germanpreet Singh - 5/10

Germanpreet Singh added to his list of underwhelming performances this season following his display against FC Goa. The midfielder didn't help his defense out for the first two goals and was anonymous for much of the game.

Ninthoi Meetei - 4/10

Meetei was way too narrow in the first half, allowing Dohling plenty of time and space on the ball. He endured a harrowing first half and was understandably taken off at the break.


Mirlan Murzaev - 6/10

Murzaev seemed to be the only Chennaiyin FC player trying to cause the Gaurs some trouble going forward. However, he too endured a frustrating night overall.


Lukasz Gikiewicz - 5/10

Gikiewicz got almost no service during his time on the pitch and often had to drop deep to get the ball. He had no attempts on the FC Goa goal in a frustrating outing.


Substitutes

Reagan Singh - 5.5/10

Reagan Singh replaced Meetei at half-time. FC Goa's fifth goal came from his flank as he couldn't deal with Dohling. But he did a decent job otherwise.


Edwin Sydney Vanspaul - 6/10

Vanspaul came on for Thapa at half-time. He had a couple of pops from distance but couldn't do much to impact the game.


Nerijus Valskis - 6/10

Valskis replaced Gikiewicz in the 65th minute. He managed a few good passes but didn't consistently get into goalscoring positions.


Rahim Ali - 5.5/10

Ali came on for Germanpreet Singh in the 65th minute. He had one shot on goal which whistled wide when he could've passed it to either Valskis or Murzaev.


Syed Suhail Pasha - 6/10

Pasha replaced Borysiuk in the 74th minute. He attempted a couple of ambitious passes but didn't do much otherwise.

FC Goa

Dheeraj Singh Moirangthem - 6.5/10

Moirangthem had virtually nothing to do all game and picked up an easy clean sheet, with Chennaiyin FC managing no shots on target.


Aibanbha Dohling - 9/10

Dohling easily put in his best-ever ISL performance tonight. The FC Goa left-back registered three key passes, two assists and a shot on target in an incredible individual display.

It was his cross that ultimately led to his side's second goal as well. He added a clean sheet for good measure too.


Anwar Ali - 7/10

Ali had a comfortable outing, recording two tackles as Chennaiyin FC hardly troubled him.


Ivan Gonzalez - 6.5/10

Gonzalez, like Ali, had little to do on the night. He was tidy with his passing and put in a solid shift.


Seriton Fernandes - 6.5/10

Fernandes wasn't as big a threat as Dohling, but still offered the occasional surge forward down the right for FC Goa. He recorded one key pass and completed 94.2 percent of his attempted passes.


Edu Bedia - 7/10

As always, Bedia helped the Gaurs control the game and kept them ticking throughout. The Spaniard completed more passes (96) and registered more touches (117) than any other player on the night.


Princeton Rebello - 6.5/10

Rebello was neat with his passing and helped FC Goa keep the ball out of the Marina Machans' reach. He also recorded a key pass.


Brandon Fernandes - 6/10

Fernandes had multiple good chances to score but ended up with no shots on target. It was a missed opportunity for the midfielder to gain some much-needed confidence. But he did play a crucial role in FC Goa's second goal.


Alberto Noguera - 7.5/10

Noguera's peach of a cross led to Chennaiyin FC's Das scoring an own goal. He was constantly looking to charge forward and also showcased some smooth skills in the build-up to his side's first goal.


Makan Chote - 7/10

Chote scored his goal brilliantly, volleying in with his left foot after just six minutes. He also recorded two key passes and another shot on target while completing 80.8 percent of his passes.


Jorge Ortiz - 9.5/10

A simply stunning performance from the man of the match. Ortiz ran riot in the 58 minutes he spent on the pitch. He displayed fantastic composure to get past Das and score the first goal. The Spaniard was lucky to receive a chance following Thapa's error and made no mistake in beating Debjit Majumder in goal.

His hat-trick goal was neat too as he skipped past a challenge and placed a left-footed finish past Majumder. Ortiz looked like he would score for FC Goa almost every time he got the ball in and around the box and made it all look incredibly easy.


Substitutes

Savior Gama - 6/10

Gama came on for Rebello in the 58th minute. He almost got an assist late on but his shot-turned-pass found Dylan Fox in an offside position.


Airam Cabrera - 6.5/10

Cabrera replaced Ortiz in the 58th minute. He was a threat to an already tired Chennaiyin FC during his time on the pitch and stitched together some good passes.


Dylan Fox - 6/10

Fox came on for Gonzalez in the 75th minute. He scored an offside goal and was solid in defense to ensure FC Goa got a clean sheet.


Muhammad Nemil - 6/10

Nemil replaced Brandon Fernandes in the 75th minute. He was bright and wasn't afraid to run at the Chennaiyin FC defense. But his final pass was lacking at times.


Devendra Murgaonkar - N/A

Murgaonkar came on for Dohling in the 84th minute. He didn't see much of the ball during his time on the pitch.
