It is not typical for a team like NorthEast United to see both their wing backs get assists in the same game let alone the same half. Today was such a special day for the Highlanders where both their wing backs Keegan and Reagan managed to get assists in the game.

Keegan got his assist in the fourth min when he darted down the left flank and cut the ball back to an onrushing Rowllin Borges who made no mistake to score past Amrinder Singh and give Northeast United the lead.

Reagan got his assist in the 33rd minute when Gallego fed him a ball in the right flank, and his inch-perfect cross found Ogbeche's shins and helped the Nigerian score his 12th goal of the season and double Northeast United's lead.

Reagan's cross was probably one of the best crosses of the season as it landed right at Ogbeche's feet and the Nigerian had to do nothing but touch the ball.

Reagan has been facing a lot of backlash from the fans primarily for his poor crossing during the season, but the fans would be overjoyed seeing his performance today.

Keegan has always been known to be a good crosser of the ball and has done it a few times already this season.

With both the wing backs getting assists coach Eelco Schattorie would be pleased to see his defenders getting assists and helping out the midfielders in that aspect.
