#4 Flop - Marko Stankovic

Marko Stankovic partnered Rohit Kumar in the defensive midfield position and struggled to contain the likes of Anirudh Thapa and Rafael Crivallero. The hosts had the free pass to run behind Hyderabad's defenders and create chances for fun.

The visitors failed to show the much-needed intention by opting to invite pressure and tried their hardest to hit Chennaiyin on the counter-attack. It proved costly as the whole Hyderabad midfield, headed by Stankovic, went for a walk.

During the first half of the match, Rafael Crivellaro had joy through the right side of the defence. His defence-splitting passes gave a constant headache to Hyderabad. Those incidents occurred because of the poor display from Marko Stankovic in the right side of the defensive area.

Marko Stankovic has played a crucial part in Hyderabad FC's campaign this season. The experienced midfielder will be hoping to replicate his old performances and help his side.
