Amidst all the poor displays on show tonight, ATK's right back Prabir Das was a joy to watch. He was defensively solid and always made himself available in the opposition half as well.

More importantly, Das had his positioning on point. He knew exactly went to venture forward and went to stay back and defend. Now 23 years old, Prabir played the game like an experienced campaigner. He was miserly and rarely conceded possession on the right wing. He combined well with his colleagues and his tackling technique was impressive.

Every time Jamshedpur had the opportunity to counter, they stayed away from his wing and instead chose to target ATK's left side, which certainly speaks volumes about the respect he commanded tonight.
