Indian Arrows opted for a back four of Anwar Ali, Narendar, Asish Rai and Gurkirat Singh. The average of the defenders is 17, and they showed inexperience with poor positioning and physically getting bullied by the attackers of Chennai City FC.

Jitendra Singh was the opted registra in the side, and he was all over the place. He was exposed on many occasions, leaving his defenders to do extra spare work at the back.

Full-backs Asish Rai and Gurkirat Singh looked unconvincing and were totally rattled by Nestor Gordillo and Romario Jesuraj who were outstanding throughout the game.

Life was too easy for Manzi and Nestor who combined to cause havoc at the back. The first two goals could have been avoided, but the amount of understanding between the defenders were not up to the mark.

These resulted in a headache for Indian Arrows manager Floyd Pinto as his side scuffled to hit the top gear.
