For a team which leaked in 23 goals last season, Nelo Vingada had a task at hand to strengthen his team’s defensive abilities. The arrival of Subrata Paul looks like a master-stroke from the Portuguese gaffer who has made the former Indian goal-keeper the leading line of his defence.

With brilliant saves from Jofre, Matheus Trindade and various other confident collections throughout the game, Subrata had a brilliant outing. The arrival of Gustavo Lazzaretti and Mailson Alves also helps the cause of a team which had finished the first season of ISL at the bottom of the table.

With such stability at the back, the likes of Emiliano Alfaro, Nicolas Velez, Katsumi Yusa and Holicharan Narzary would be expected to create and convert chances in the attacking third.
