Flop - Albert Serran (Bengaluru FC)

It wasn't one of the best days for the Bengaluru FC defender. Matej Poplatnik of Kerala Blasters easily outran Serran many times in the game and that entire sense of confidence was missing from Serran in this game.

Serran was sometimes unable to judge the through-ball and Sahal Abdul Samad took advantage of that to play some tantalising passes to Poplatnik.

The Blasters' forward couldn't really control the passes to the best of his ability but he showed that Serran could be brushed aside with pace and control.

It was no surprise that Carles Cuadrat substituted Serran, who was on a yellow card, with Miku in the second half. Cuadrat was confident his side could play with two central defenders Juanan Gonzalez and Rahul Bheke.
