NorthEast United FC
TP Rehenesh (8.5): Rehenesh made more than a couple of great saves from close quarters to keep NorthEast United’s lead intact.
Nirmal Chhetri (7): Nirmal did a good job keeping Delhi’s left-wing quiet for most of the games. He also ventured forward and helped Len on the attack.
Jose Goncalves (8): Jose looked solid while keeping a check on the Delhi attackers. He was also one of the main reason’s why Uche couldn’t play his usual game.
Sambinha (7.5): Sambinha looked like a wall at the back. Even though he was beaten once or twice he did well to cover his tracks.
Reagan Singh (7): Reagan had a very good game keeping the like of Seityasen Singh at bay. He also caused a lot of problems for Pritam Kotal with his runs down the left wing.
Adilson Goiano (7.5): Adilson controlled the midfield for most parts of the game. His anticipation and positioning was top notch today.
Rowllin Borges (7): Returning to the first team after an injury layoff, Rowllin looked shaky at the initial stages of the game but got back to his usual self as the game progressed. Rowllin though will take a little longer to perform at his optimum best.
Seiminlen Doungel (7.5): Len was brilliant down the right wing. He completely overran Lugun and was very effective in tracking back and keeping the likes of Chhangte at bay.
Marcinho (8): Scorer of NorthEast's first goal of the season, Marcinho looked lively and wreaked havoc in the Delhi defence.
Holicharan Narzary (9): The Man of the Match today, Holicharan was in sublime touch. He completely bossed Pritam Kotal on the wing and put in some delicious crosses.
Danilo Lopes (8.5): Worked really hard and ran after the lost causes. He was rewarded with a goal which came about due to his high work rate.
Substitutes:
Lalrindika Ralte (6): Dika came in for Rowllin, who isn’t fully fit yet, and performed his job to the mark.
Martin Diaz (6): Martin came on when NEUFC coach Carlos Deus decided to shut shop. He kept hold of the ball and tackled the Delhi players whenever an opportunity arose.
