Rahul Bheke – 7
One of the top left backs the country has at the moment, Rahul Bheke’s performance has managed to reach the level, the coach might have expected from him. He was good at the left, and had provided with some good amount attacking assistance.

However, he had his name in the score sheet as his brilliant shot from a short range went past Albino.
Sunil Chhetri – 8
His name is not in the score sheet, but the score sheet itself would say his impact in the game. He was pivotal for them in the attack.

Lallianzuala Chhangte – 5

Kalu Uche – 6
The captain scored the penalty goal for them, which helped them decrease the deficit to two. He had a modest day today. He failed to implement the experience he had in Europe here, when the need was high.
