Here are the hits and flops from the match.
HITS
Arnab Mondal (Atletico de Kolkata):-Arnab Mondal performed superbly in this match. The Indian centre-back was hardly beaten by the Delhi players. He made an excellent save by blocking a Malouda’s shot late in the match. Arnab’s efforts somehow saved the hosts from more embarrassment.
Gustavo Marmentini dos Santos (Delhi Dynamos):-Santos came on the field in the 60 minute for Richard Gatze. He kept himself busy on the field till the final minute. He put pressure to the Kolkata’s defence at several times. Santos broke the deadlock at the final moment with his perfect finish.
FLOPS
Borja Fernandez (Atletico de Kolkata):-Borja’s performance was disappointing in this match. He allowed Malouda to pass the ball to the Dos Santos and Santos made no mistake to give Delhi the lead. Borja’s current form is bringing more difficulties for the defending champions.
Francis Fernandes (Delhi Dynamos):- Francis Fernandes could not impress with his performance in this match. The winger failed to make inroads into the hosts’ defence and looked totally clueless during the match.
