Subrata Pal became the third goalkeeper to win the 'Hero Player of the Match' award this season. He wasn't required much in the first 75 minutes but made many pivotal saves when called upon in the last few minutes of the game.

In the 84th minute, the 32-year-old made a double save as Coro tricked a couple of defenders before shooting at goal, which was saved by Pal. The Jamshedpur goalkeeper got a hand to another shot inside the same minute to parry it behind for the corner.

In the last minute of the match, Pal made another pivotal save as he got his fingertips to a shot from Brandon Fernandes to earn an important point for his side.

He picked up a concussion at the end of the match but Ferrando said that the custodian will be fit for the next match.


#4 Flop: Jackichand Singh

The FC Goa winger displayed brilliant performances in the first half of the season but failed to hit the ground running after the long international break.

The 26-year-old winger was praised for his excellent dribbling and crossing ability but he failed to provide the latter on Monday as he lost the ball on several occasions in the first half.

In the 7th minute, Singh delivered a dangerous cross in the six-yard box but no one in the orange shirt was able to meet the ball in the box. From there, it was a no show from the Manipur-born winger.

With about 20 minutes left to play, Jackichand Singh was replaced by Manvir Singh as Goa was in dire need of goals to get the important 3 points.
