#3 A nervy end to the game
In the second half, Ranko Popovic made two substitutions by taking out Diego Carlos and Emiliano Alfaro for Jonaton Lucca and Marcos Tebar, it looked like an odd decision taken by the Pune boss to take out two of his creative outlets with his team needing two goals. But it soon proved to be a mistake as Lucca scored from a freekick and made it 2-1 on the night.
