Odisha FC

Arshdeep Singh - 6.5/10

Arshdeep Singh looked very secure with his handling for most of the game and made a couple of crucial saves. His distribution, particularly with balls over the top, was also excellent. Arshdeep was well-beaten, however, for the FC Goa goal.


Sahil Panwar - 6/10

Panwar improved in the second half after a middling start to the game. However, he completely lost Jesuraj for the late equalizer.


Victor Mongil - 7.5/10

Mongil is frankly unlucky not to take three points with him after this game. The Odisha FC centre-back was simply immense throughout the match and managed everything the Gaurs threw at him. Mongil was also good with his passing, completing 81% of his attempts in that regard.


Gaurav Bora - 6/10

Bora, like Panwar, improved in the second half and looked solid once his side took the lead. However, he was caught ball-watching for FC Goa's late equalizer.


Lalhrezuala Sailung - 6/10

Sailung was initially caught napping on a couple of occasions by the FC Goa attack. He recovered well from those moments to finish the first half strong but was taken off for Lalruatthara at half-time.


Thoiba Singh Moirangthem - 6.5/10

Moirangthem made one crucial block to deny Rebello in the first half and even set up a good chance for Aridai Cabrera in the second half. He put in an energetic shift and helped keep Odisha FC ahead for much of the game.


Isaac Vanmalsawma - 6.5/10

Vanmalsawma put in a typical workhorse shift yet again, covering plenty of ground. He was caught out once in the second half but luckily went unpunished thanks to Arshdeep Singh's save. Vanmalsawma managed two key passes and two tackles.


Aridai Cabrera - 6.5/10

Cabrera was a live-wire for Odisha FC in the first half and constantly looked to set the team away on the counter-attack. He was a little subdued in the second half but helped out more defensively once the Juggernauts took the lead. Cabrera recorded two key passes and a shot on target, and also won two fouls.


Liridon Krasniqi - 6/10

Krasniqi displayed some neat touches in the first half for Odisha FC but his final pass was often lacking. He was substituted at half-time for Jonathas de Jesus.


Jerry Mawihmingthanga - 6/10

Mawihmingthanga was once again a bundle of energy for the Juggernauts, helping out in all parts of the pitch. His defensive game, which saw him win three tackles, outweighed his offensive display, though, and Odisha FC could've done with more of his clever movement upfront.

The forward did hit the crossbar with a smart attempt late in the game, though.


Javi Hernandez - 7/10

Hernandez didn't deliver too many great set-pieces but did manage to win a penalty by going for the rebound of one of his botched free-kicks. He was once again the primary creative outlet for the Juggernauts, recording a shot on target and two key passes.

Hernandez also tracked back well to help out the defense, making three tackles.


Substitutes

Jonathas de Jesus - 7/10

De Jesus came on for Krasniqi ahead of the second half. He nonchalantly converted a penalty won by Hernandez to give Odisha FC the lead. The Brazilian, however, gave the ball away under pressure in the build-up to the Gaurs' equalizer.


Lalruatthara - 6.5/10

Lalruatthara replaced Sailung at half-time. He did an excellent job for the most part but gave Airam Cabrera too much space to cross the ball in for FC Goa's goal.


Paul Ramfangzauva - 6/10

Ramfangzauva came on for Vanmalsawma in the 66th minute. He added some steel to the Odisha FC midfield and did his job well.


Redeem Tlang - 6.5/10

Tlang replaced Cabrera in the 73rd minute. He made a couple of good runs forward and had a few good touches in a decent cameo.


Daniel Lalhlimpuia - N/A

Lalhlimpuia came on for Hernandez in injury-time. He had no time to impact the game.
