Trending
Like Guimaraes, Habas also decided not to start his team's returning midfielder Lyngdoh. However, the Spaniard brought the dynamic player into the game at the start of the second half, and Lyngdoh showed what he is all about after coming on.
The 30-year old scored the winner for his side at the 89-minute mark and earned them three crucial points. The Indian midfielder did what he usually does during the 45 minutes he was on the pitch. Lyngdoh made short and crisp passes, helping his team to attack, and also contributed defensively. The player was also given 'the Hero of the Match' award, even though he was on the pitch only for 45 minutes. This shows the impact he made on the game after coming on.
The return of Lyngdoh is a huge boost for Habas. The Indian midfielder can help Pune qualify for the playoffs and will be crucial in the team's remaining fixtures.
