#1 A smash and grab win for FC Pune City
There are games when a team does not play well but still keep themselves in the hunt and strike through a single chance in 90 minutes. A top team finds a way to bag three points even on their bad days. FC Pune City did exactly that against North East United.

The Stallions were poor for large durations of the game. Lacking cohesion and poor composure in the final third meant that Pune were looking second best against North East. But one substitution and one chance changed the complexion of the match.
Marko Stankovic arrived and made an instant impact from playing in midfield. He provided the assist for Marcelino who duly converted in a one on one situation. With this win, FC Pune City are now second on the table with 25 points and games like these prove why the Stallions deserve to be nearer to the summit of the league standings.
