Apart from Delhi Dynamos, all the ISL franchises have an Indian under the bar. Apart from TP Rehenesh, all of them performed well until this match.

Arindam Bhattacharya, who is standing between the sticks for ATK in place of regular goalkeeper Debjit Majumder, made the first error of the game. Cidoncha was brought down by Pronay Halder just outside the box. The Spaniard took a low but powerful free-kick, the ball bounced just in front of Bhattacharya and bamboozled the goalkeeper on his way into the net.

Bhattacharya should be held responsible for this, because Lanzarote clearly hinted him with his hands that the ball will dip down and may bounce in front of him. Despite being in the right position, Bhattacharya couldn’t do anything.

The second error of the night came from none other than Subhasish Roy Chowdhury, who till recently played for his country. Lanzarote took a curling corner, which was coming towards the goal. Subhasish tried to parry it over the bar but failed and poked the ball into the net.
