Lenny Rodrigues (6/10) - The defensive midfielder played the connecting role between the defense and attack for the away side. He distributed the ball well from the center and combined well with Delgado in midfield.

Dimas Delgado (6.5/10) - The Spanish midfielder played just in front of Lenny Rodrigues and did well to find the runs of the Bengaluru wingers with aerial balls from the center. He was strong in his tackles as well to break up Pune plays.
