ISL 2017/18, Match 68: Bengaluru FC vs FC Goa, Player Ratings

FC Goa

Mandar Rao Dessai failed to impress

Naveen Kumar (7.5/10): Even though he conceded two goals, Naveen Kumar had a good game. He made some good saves from close quarters as well as from distances. Had Naveen not made some of the saves he made, Goa would have suffered a much bigger defeat.

Seriton Fernandes (7/10): Seriton worked very hard all throughout the match and made some good interceptions and blocks. He also moved forward often and gave Nishu Kumar a hard time.

Bruno Pinheiro (6.5/10): Bruno Pinheiro looked composed on the ball and nearly completed every pass he attempted. He was also the only Goa player who tried to stop the first goal from going in while the others were just ball watching.

Mohamed Ali (7/10): Mohamed Ali had another good game, even though his side conceded two goals, he did look impressive as he made some very crucial interceptions and clearances. He also had a big role to play in keeping Semboi quiet throughout the game.

Narayan Das (5.5/10): Narayan was probably the busiest of the defenders for Goa as he was time and again called into action by the runs from Dovale, Dimas and Rahul Bheke. He did look beat on a couple of occasions and had troubles keeping Dovale in check.

Ahmed Jahouh (6/10): Ahmed Jahouh had a night to forget, as he was way below his usual self. His pass completion rates were very poor and he was also overrun by the likes of Dimas, Lenny, and Edu Garcia with ease.

Edu Bedia (6/10): Edu Bedia like his midfield partner didn’t have a night to remember, they failed to control the game. Edu failed to create any clear-cut openings and was beaten by his namesake in Blue with ease.

Mandar Rao Desai (5.5/10): Mandar made some good runs past Rahul but his final balls and crosses were really poor. Somehow Bengaluru had all the answers to every trick Mandar had up his sleeves.

Manuel Lanzarote (6.5/10): Lanzarote played out of position and down the flanks for Goa today, and gave Nishu big problems. But Lanzarote also failed to exert his usual presence in the game even though he made some good runs. His set pieces and crosses were way below par.

Ferran Corominas (6.5/10): Coro too played in an unusual position of just behind the striker; he did look lively in his usual position as he looked to be the main creative force for Goa but was a shadow of his usual self-today.

Manvir Singh (6/10): Manvir didn’t have a game he would remember as he had few touches of the ball inside the box. He had a couple of shots but those were far from being convincing shots. His passes and link up with Coro was also something that needs a lot of work.
