ISL 2018-19: Mumbai City FC 0-0 ATK: 5 Talking Points

#5 Brilliant show by the Indian internationals

Subhashish Bose and Pronay Halder's performance like that of today will be required in the 2019 AFC Asian Cup

Alongside Amrinder Singh, Subhasish Bose and Pronay Halder, too, held their ground and did their defensive duties well enough.

The ATK defensive midfielder thwarted the long balls of Mumbai City FC and kept Paulo Machado and Rafael Bastos in check. Moreover, whenever Mumbai City FC tried to penetrate through the vulnerable ATK right wing position, Pronay covered it up.

Subhasish Bose was rightly adjudged the 'Hero of the Match' for his valiant performance in the left-back position. The closest Mumbai City FC came to breaking the deadlock was at the 76th minute when his 35-yard long-range effort was thwarted above the crossbar by Arindam.

Both Subhasish and Pronay regularly feature for the Indian football team. They just need to maintain their spirited performance, so that India produces a respectable show at the 2019 AFC Asian Cup in January.

Here is Subhashish's piledriver we were talking about:
