#3 Hit - Raphael Augusto
Raphael Augusto produced his best performance for Bengaluru FC against the Mariners. The Brazilian was unplayable until picking up an injury minutes before the half-time whistle.
The visitors were reliant on the brilliance of the former Chennaiyin FC midfielder during the opening moments of the game. He won numerous duels and carried the ball from the defensive to offensive department in transition. His shot from outside the box was easily parried away by Subrata Paul in the first half.
Augusto had a good second half and restored possession on numerous occasions. As the game progressed, the Brazilian showed signs of slowing down and eventually got substituted at the 80-minute mark.
Dimas Delgado does the dirty work by sitting back, while Augusto has the freedom to roam around and bomb up and down the pitch. Thanks to his excellent reading of the game, he can score goals and thread passes for the forwards Sunil Chhetri, Manuel Onwu, and Udanta Singh as the season progresses.
