#4 Marko Stankovic having quite an impact

Stankovic's importance is growing

As mentioned earlier, Ranko Popovic left Emiliano Alfaro out of the starting lineup but kept Marko Stankovic in.

The former Austria international was signed in the January window by the Stallions and he has certainly made quite the impact in every game he's featured in.

His connection with Marcelinho is just brilliant. He seems to just find the perfect weight on the passes forward to the strikers. It was his ball that completely opened up the NorthEast United defence in the last game for Marcelinho's winner. Today too, he was on top form, providing some sublime forward passes for the likes of Diego Carlos and Marcelinho.

Even if they are not having their best game, with Stankovic in their ranks Pune City have the ability to create chances in an instant and that will make them a very dangerous prospect indeed.
