#2 Remember the name - Munther Abu Amarah
Both sides descended upon King Abdullah International Stadium in contrasting forms. While Al Wehdat have been in their zone registering four wins on the trot, Bengaluru, on the other hand, were handed two consecutive defeats by East Bengal and Churchill Brothers in the I-League. To add to their woes, the visitors couldn’t practice on Monday, since their training kits and luggage were misplaced.
And to make matters worse, they were up against one man in particular who caused havoc in Bengaluru’s half. Remember the name- Munther Abu Amara. The number 7 was easily the best player on the pitch.
Still only 24, Amara was a livewire all across the final third. The speedy Jordanian international is a bag full of tricks and treats and unleashed them all against a relatively slow Bengaluru defence. He combined well with Ahmad Elias and Ahmad Maher. Though he primarily plays as a right winger, Munther made some blinding runs from the centre right into the opposition box. The diminutive attacker was certainly a delight to watch.
