It was one of the most important games that BFC were playing this season, and even though they were the away team, a goal in the game would have gone a long way in ensuring their passage to the finals.

The mercurial Miku was hardly seen on the pitch, as he had very few touches of the ball (24 to be exact) and could manage just one shot, which was way off target. His passing was poor too, as he could only manage a pass success rate of 59 percent.

Captain cool Sunil Chhetri rather looked agitated throughout the game, but didn’t contribute much other than a free kick that was saved by Vishal Kaith. Sunil too, like Miku, had a very poor pass success rate. Chhetri also got in the way of Juanan, who looked to be free to head in a Boithang headed pass. Toni Dovale was another player who really didn’t have any impact on the game, as he failed to control the midfield.
