#5 Hit: Khalid Aucho
Highly regarded by the East Bengal faithful for his splendid but short stint for the Red and Golds in the Super Cup, the former Red Star Belgrade midfielder had a top game against Real Kashmir, showing his fighting spirit on the field.
His timely interceptions ahead of the back-four did not allow Krizo and Danish to get into the box with ease, thus keeping them at bay.
Aucho's through balls and pin-point lobs towards Plaza and Dawda Ceesay troubled the Kashmir back-four. But shabby first touches and poor finishing from the forwards did injustice to Aucho's brilliance.
Aucho will be pivotal to Churchill's campaign in the season but the Red Machines need some fresh fire-power upfront to capitalize on the Ugandan's passes.
