Bengaluru FC vs Mumbai City FC Player Ratings: How did the players fare
Bengaluru fans finally had a taste of Indian Super League as the team produced a scintillating performance in front of more than 17000 fans.
The players didn’t disappoint producing an all round performance to start of the new season in style. While for Mumbai the absence of their attacking stars of last season hurt them a lot as they could manage only one shot on target. Let’s take a look at how the players fared in the game.
Bengaluru FC
Gurpreet (7) – Had a decent day with not much to do as Mumbai had only one shot on target. Did well with clearing the crosses but otherwise had nothing much to do.
Rahul Bheke (7) – Manned the wings well keeping Sanju pradhan quite was beaten on couple of occasion but did well to recover with some crucial blocks nad tackles
John Johnson (7) – Returning to blues colours after a long time Johnson did well to at the back rarely giving any chance to the opposition. At the other end, Johnson couldn’t shake off his marker Lucian Goian during any corner or set piece situations.
Juanan (8) – Solid performances at the back and produced a crucial last-ditch tackle to keep Everton from getting a shot away on goal, had a good understanding with Johnson in keeping Mumbai attack quite.
Khabra (6) – A quite game for Khabra was beaten quite few times at wings by Ruidas but otherwise put up a decent performance
Edu Garcia (8) – BFC’s first ever ISL scorer, the Spaniard came up with a solid performance scoring an amazing goal from a tight angle. Linked up well with teammates and gave an added attacking impetus to the team
Paartalu (7) – Tracked back well when needed but otherwise had a quiet decent game, was I control of the midfield and He did his job perfectly.
Lenny Rodrigues (7) – Lenny had a good game and along with Paartalu kept Mumbai midfield silent breaking attacks and contributing upfront.
Chhetri (9) – Talismanic captain showed once again why he should not be ignored at any point of time, running 58 meters chasing the ball before pouncing on Mumbai’s defensive mistake to register his first goal in ISL 4. From creating numerous chances to scoring the injury time goal, Chhetri showed why he is still the best in India.
Udanta (7) – Came close a couple of times and also had an assist in the first goal. Still needs to improve on his finishing and decision making in the final third.
Miku (7) – Miku had quite a good show in the game. Coming close to scoring number of times Miku’s understanding with his strike partners was impressive.

Mumbai City:
Amrinder (6) – Had a lot of work to do. Produced some decent saves but was at fault in some way for both the goals. Amrinder‘s anticipation was poor in letting a ball creep from the near post while in the second he made a complete hash of things by rushing out of the box.
Gerson (5) – Looked out of sorts at times. Came up with a below-par performance, dealt BFC attacks occasionally well but otherwise disappointing
Marcio (5) – Had trouble keeping Chhetri in check losing possession and completely out of place.
Lucian Goain (8) – Mumbai’s star performer of last season didn’t disappoint and came up with some crucial tackles. Was responsible for keeping the score at 2-0 and came up with his usual best performance, often carrying his team.
Raju Gaikward (6) – Another below – par performer, with completely outdone by Udanta and Chhetri at the flanks. Needs to improve a lot
Sehnaj (6) – Was quite for most part of the game and looked like a shadow of himself. Mumbai needs him to get back to his best and his below expectation of performance hurt the team more.
Sanju (6) – Look good but occasionally, tracked back well in the defence while producing some decent moves up top with crosses.
Emana (5) – Replaced Leo Costa early in the first half but didn’t have much impact on the game looking out of sorts many times
Sahil (6) – Put in a good shift and worked hard for the ball, tracked back well and helped out while defending, but couldn’t make an impact in attack.
Abhinash (7) – One of the few positives for the Mumbai side, the young left winger gave a good account of himself and every now and then troubled Udanta, keeping him quiet.
Everton (5) – He had a very quiet game with nothing much to show. Could have brought Mumbai back in the game but messed up the one big opportunity he had on his way. Was rarely seen with the ball at his feet.
