ISL 2018-19: Bengaluru FC vs NorthEast United FC - Hits and Flops as BFC get back to winning ways

Flop - Federico Gallego (NorthEast United)

Federico Gallego of NorthEast United FC

In the first half, Bartholomew Ogbeche took the entire responsibility of finding the goal for NorthEast United. NEUFC mostly hit BFC back on the counter and even though Ogbeche's pace was better than that of Serran, the NEUFC captain was unable to find a pass in the box or take a decent shot that would test Gurpreet Singh Sandhu.

Federico Gallego had to catch up to the striker.

In the second half, NEUFC were a real threat during the set pieces. And it took Gallego only one such free-kick to score the equaliser for NEUFC.

With a couple of the BFC defenders distracted by Ogbeche, Gallego broke free. He powered his way through the left side of the box and slotted past the goalkeeper for a well-deserved equaliser.

That apart, Gallego's corner kicks were always a threat to BFC. In the first half, Gallego dropped the ball into the centre of the box with Gurpreet denying Mato Grgc a goal.

He got into unnecessary scuffles with the BFC players and even the coaching staff - the frustration was clear.

Gallego played right behind Ogbeche and had a few defensive duties to stick to. Had be been given a more attacking role, perhaps Gallego could have done more.
