#2 Dheeraj shines again

When Pranjal Bhumij took the shot in the 93rd minute, Dheeraj Singh was in perfect position. But the shot curled quite extravagantly and not a single keeper in the world could have saved it.

Dheeraj was disappointed at the end of the match, but he should hold his head high. Life has changed so much for him in the last one year. He was near perfect against Mumbai. His glove-work, timing and positioning were eye-catching as always.

Take the example of the 17th minute, when he came out of his area and headed the ball away in front of an onrushing Sougou. As a goalkeeper, James knows recognises talent and he will surely inspire Dheeraj to shine more on the big stage.
