ISL Final: Bengaluru FC vs FC Goa- 5 Hits and Flops as Rahul Bheke's extra-time header crowns a new champion

#1 Hit- Rahul Bheke (Bengaluru FC)

Rahul Bheke's header created all the differences for Bengaluru FC against FC Goa in the ISL final

Rahul Bheke missed out on the national team call-up to the AFC Asian Cup but didn't let the disappointment affect his performance for Bengaluru FC in the ISL. Arguably, one of the best defenders in the ISL, he lived up to his task against FC Goa in the finals.

Forging a solid partnership with Juanan in the heart of the defence, he played the offside trap perfectly and caught the FC Goa players offside eight times. A total of seven clearances, two interceptions, and two blocks also show that he wasn't a mere spectator in the centre-back position.

And, finally coming to the moment of glory, Rahul Bheke cut across to connect Dimas Delgado's corner-kick and headed it with aplomb. Surely, luck aided him as the ball hit the inside of the woodwork before bulging the back of the net. Naveen Kumar had no chance to save it. But, if you are as good as Rahul Bheke, you wouldn't mind luck helping you out a little.
