#3 Emiliano Alfaro's away troubles continue

Emiliano Alfaro's away troubles continue

The Uruguayan striker is FC Pune City's joint top scorer this season with 7 goals. But worryingly for Alfaro and the Stallions, only two of them have come away from Pune. He has not scored in 3 of the 5 away games that Pune played before the game against the Highlanders.

Against North East, Alfaro worked tirelessly for the team, was alert in and around the box and had a decent link-up play with his fellow teammates. But the much-needed goal still deserted him.

It needs to be noted that Alfaro had the best chance of the first half when a Nirmal Chhetri's horrible back pass fell straight to the Uruguayan who decided to went for the jugular and attempted a shot on the volley. He missed and had he taken a touch there, Alfaro would have scored in the first half and ended his away game voodoo.
