Bengaluru FC:

Lalthuammawia Ralte - 6/10

Ralte did well when he came under pressure during the initial stages of the game and settled in well as the game progressed. The Bengaluru shot-stopper had very little to do in the second half.

Harmanjot Khabra - 7/10

Bengaluru's other full-back displayed an impressive performance on the night and established a good relationship with Udanta which helped the duo massively while going forward in the second half. Khabra took up a lot of advanced positions inside Pune's half after the hosts were down to 10 men.

Rahul Bheke - 6/10

Bheke also did not enjoy his involvement at the heart of the defence and his positioning was questionable on a few occasions. A full-back by his trade, Bheke failed to adapt himself to the new role alongside Juanan.

Juanan - 7/10

The Spaniard was Bengaluru's only bright spot in an otherwise poor performance while being on the back foot. Juanan showed great awareness and if not for him Pune could have easily scored another goal in the first half.

Subhasish Bose - 5/10

The left-back looked shaky throughout the majority of the game and committed a few costly errors including failing to detect Adil Khan's run into the penalty area for the opening goal of the game. Bose went through a torrid time when he came up against Diego Carlos on a few occasions.

Erik Paartalu - 6/10

Not the best of performances from the towering midfielder tonight as Bengaluru failed to keep hold of the ball in the first half. Paartalu failed to leave a lasting impact and was sacrificed in the second half for Edu Garcia, who quickly made an impact after coming on.

Braulio Nobrega - 4/10

Braulio was almost non-existent throughout the game and was left out as a passenger every time Bengaluru moved forward. He also scuffed a brilliant opportunity that was put on a plate for him by Udanta.

Udanta Singh - 7/10

The pacey winger sprung into life in the second half after Pune were reduced to 10 men and ran riot on the flanks for Bengaluru as they took control of the game. Udanta lighted up the game with his electrifying pace towards the end.

Dimas Delgado - 6/10

Not the worst of games for Delgado, who did a lot of running on the night covering a majority of the pitch. However, the midfielder could not provide the cutting edge inside the opposition's final third despite playing the full game.

Sunil Chhetri - 9/10

The skipper was yet again instrumental for Bengaluru on the night and was rightfully rewarded in the end when he managed to add the killer blow with a cheeky finish to put the game to bed. Chhetri was a constant thorn for the Pune defence and worked tirelessly throughout the game.

Miku - 8/10

The Venezuelan showed great awareness inside the opposition's penalty area to score both the goals for his side and yet again impressed with his clinical finishing. Miku did not contribute a lot to the visitors' attack but he popped up at the right place at the right time to steal the show.

Substitutes

Antonio Dovale - 5/10

Dovale came on shortly after Pune were reduced to 10 men and his fresh legs helped Bengaluru push forward and grab all three points.

Edu Garcia - 7/10

Garcia came on in the second half and played a part in Bengaluru's comeback by setting up a goal for Miku. A performance that further raised questions as to why he was left out in the first place anyway.

John Johnson - N/A

Came on in the 80th minute to replace Braulio.
