He was so impressive in the last game was Albino Gomes; as the Dynamos faced wave after wave of attacks from Bengaluru FC and Delhi's keeper did his best to prevent the score from getting out of hand.

But tonight, the bug that's been afflicting a lot of the keepers in this year's tournament, caught up with Gomes. The goalkeepers haven't exactly covered themselves in glory this season with regular errors leading to opposition goals. With his side already down 0-1, Gomes felt the need to contribute to that growing list.

A simple enough backpass had to be cleared with a NorthEast forward rushing onto him. Gomes' left-footed attempt at a clearance though was an absolute stinker that left him discombobulated and eventually gifted the ball to the onrushing Cezario, who was left with an open goal to tap into and give the visitors a 2-0 cushion.

Oh Albino!
