ISL 2017/18, Match 59: FC GOA vs Mumbai City FC, Player ratings

Mumbai City FC

Amrinder Singh (7/10): Amrinder committed a howler during the second goal he conceded, but right from the start of the second half Amrinder seemed to be a different person, as he pulled off two stunning saves to keep Mumbai in the game. The save from a Manuel Lanzarote curler can easily be a contender for the save of the season. Amrinder had a big role to play in ensuring that Mumbai equalised in the second half.

Mehrajuddin Wadoo (5.5/10): Wadoo’s distribution and anticipation was poor today, but Wadoo was an ever-present figure in Mumbai defence, and he put in some crunching tackles, to keep the Goa forwards at bay.

Gerson Vieira (6.5/10): Gearson was the leader in defence for Mumbai, as he made sure that his defensive line was set up properly. Gearson also had the primary responsibility of keeping a check on Coro something which he really couldn’t accomplish.

Marcio Rozario (6/10): Rozario was ball watching during the first goal Mumbai conceded, and also was late to react to the third goal. All in all, Rozario had a poor game. His tackles were also not very effective.

Sanju Pradhan (6/10): Sanju was the culprit number 1 for the second goal Mumbai conceded, as his back pass was collected by Mandar, which resulted in the second goal for Goa. Sanju also didn’t venture forward much too.

Achille Emana (8.5/10): Scored the equaliser for Mumbai from the penalty spot. Emana was a big presence in the middle of the park. He helped Mumbai win a lot of balls and initiated a lot of attacks.

Zakeer Mundampara (6/10): Zakeer was a shadow today, he did put in some crucial tackles but his passes and anticipation were poor. He was completely overrun by the likes of Md. Jahouh and Edu Bedia.

Sahil Travora (6/10): Sahil Travora did the job of getting into the heads of the Goa players. He frustrated Brandon all evening with his constant shirt pulling and jabbering. Sahil though didn’t have the best of days in terms of passing and holding up play and build up.

Thiago Santos (9/10): Thiago was the best player for Mumbai today without a doubt. He was a pure livewire and after Goa was reduced to 10 men he was the player who troubled the Goa defence the most. Thiago had a direct or indirect involvement in all the four goals that Mumbai scored. He was rightly adjusted as the Man of the match.

Everton Santos (8.5/10): Scored a lucky goal from a Thiago shot which hit his thigh and went in. Everton did a good job to hold the ball in midfield and build up attacks for Mumbai. He also covered a lot of ground and helped out Zakeer and Sahil in the midfield to keep a check on Jahouh and Edu Bedia.

Balwant Singh (8/10): Balwant was a menace up front for Mumbai, he didn’t give the Goa defenders a moments peace, as he chased down every ball and closed down the passing channels high up the pitch. He was also rewarded with a goal.
