Eric Montes (7/10) - The right-back for the Spanish side was virtually playing the match in the Kerala half with his menacing runs on the right flank.

Alex Granell (7.5/10) - The Girona FC skipper was the mainstay in the midfield for the Spaniards and controlled the flow of the game from the centre of the park. Granell got his name on the scoresheet when he got on the end of a cross from Many into the box and finished strongly.

Yhoan Andzouana Many (8/10) - The winger who impressed everyone with his performance yesterday against Melbourne City FC was a livewire on the flanks and made a lot of in-roads into the Kerala box.

Pedro Porro (8.5/10) - The young attacker was a cause of concern for the Kerala defenders and had a couple of good shots on the goal. He got the assist for the first goal when he put Montes through on goal inside the box and added a goal to his tally from close range after a defensive fumble.
