He has a lot of potential, and his goal against the Blasters has surely put him on the radar of all the pundits and experts. Aman has presented himself as a trustworthy option for Juan Pedro Benali and will look to build upon this performance in the matches to come.

He won 7/8 tackles that he attempted and even recorded five clearances and recoveries each, while winning 9/9 ground duels. He also executed one key pass while maintaining an accuracy of nearly 80%.

Lalchungnunga – 7.5/10

Lalchungnunga is very versatile, along with Anwar and Zivulic, for East Bengal.

While the entire limelight was taken by East Bengal’s forwards, Lalchungnunga also deserves a fair share of the credit for helping the Kolkata giants secure a statement win in Goa.

The defender made ten defensive contributions, the second most by any player and kept the opposition attackers at bay. He made five interceptions, three clearances and also won all of his aerial and ground duels. 

Thoi Singh – 7.5/10
