On a night when coach Marco Materazzi made five changes to his side, one man was always going to start. Raphael Augusto was the only shining star for Chennai in a game in which Delhi truly imposed themselves on the pitch. The Brazilian was calm and composed on the ball and unlike his teammates, didn’t panic when pressed and wriggled out of tight situations with ease.

Part of his success in midfield was down to his ability to shield the ball, as he put his wide torso to good use. The ambidextrous Brazilian displayed quick feet and passed the ball in a fluid and precise manner. He was guilty at times of holding the ball for far too long but apart from that, he looked mighty confident.
