Akash Mishra - 7/10

Chinglensana Singh - 6.5/10

Chinglensana Singh had a fairly comfortable outing and often charged forward with the ball as well. He made two tackles and completed 91.3% of his passes against SC East Bengal.

Joao Victor - 7/10

Victor was unfortunate to concede a penalty as Ribeiro clearly dived in the box. His goal-line clearance from Perosevic's volley was fantastic and he also got a shot on target in addition to helping Hyderabad FC move the ball forward.

Asish Rai - 7/10

Rai put in another workhorse performance, covering plenty of ground. He was solid defensively and registered two key passes going forward.

Souvik Chakrabarti - 7/10

Chakrabarti was a constant threat from set-pieces for Hyderabad FC and it was his corner that led to their opener. He also did well to recycle the ball in midfield, laid out a key pass and made two tackles.

Hitesh Sharma - 7.5/10

Sharma's passing range seems to be improving with every game and he got the assist for Jadhav's goal. Some of his crossfield balls against SC East Bengal were fantastic and provided a different dimension to his side's attacks.

Sharma also worked hard defensively, winning a team-high five tackles in addition to winning three fouls.

Aniket Jadhav - 7/10

It was an excellent performance from Jadhav, who was initially dealt with well by Kiyam. But he steadily grew into the game and scored an inch-perfect, right-footed curler to effectively put the game to bed. Jadhav managed three shots on target in total and also made a tackle.

Bartholomew Ogbeche - 9.5/10

Ogbeche was an absolute nuisance that SC East Bengal simply couldn't live with. He recorded five shots, three on target and four key passes, the latter two being game-high figures.

His first goal with a header was fortunate but Ogbeche took his second goal with incredible composure and poise. He raced past the defense and went around Bhattacharya to nonchalantly tap the ball in with his left foot.

The Hyderabad FC forward's third goal was the best of the bunch as he hit a first-time effort with his right foot that left the keeper rooted to his spot. It was a phenomenal performance from a striker at the peak of his powers.

Nikhil Poojari - 7/10

Poojari initially struggled with his final pass, but improved as the game went on. He should've had an assist when he sent in a delightful first-time cross for Siverio, but Bhattacharya pulled off an excellent save.

Javier Siverio - 6.5/10

Siverio got everything but a goal against SC East Bengal. He had six shots (game-high) and two on target, but lacked composure when he got into good positions. It was Siverio's headed pass that led to Ogbeche's second goal and he created three chances for his teammates in a vibrant display.

Joel Chianese - 7/10

Chianese replaced Jadhav in the 63rd minute. He gave the SC East Bengal defense all sorts of trouble and could've easily ended the game with a goal and an assist.

Sahil Tavora - 6/10

Tavora came on for Chakrabarti in the 71st minute. He didn't have the same influence as the man he replaced but helped his side see the game out.

Nim Dorjee Tamang - 6/10

Tamang replaced Rai in the 81st minute. He constantly looked to send the ball forward for the Hyderabad FC attackers to latch on to.

Mark Zothanpuia - 6/10

Zothanpuia came on for Sharma in the 81st minute. He didn't have much to do in the final 10 minutes.

Pritam Kumar Singh - 5.5/10
