Lambot was unlucky to concede an own goal for NorthEast United FC as replays suggested Jhingan tugged his shirt. Apart from that, he had a decent performance.

Khassa Camara - 8/10

Camara had a great outing as he prevented Garcia and McHugh to pose any danger from counter-attacks.

Rochharzela - 6.5/10

Rochharzela played in the right flank, but ATK Mohun Bagan defenders' imposing presence prevented any meaningful attack from the diminutive winger.

VP Suhair - 7/10

Suhair could have pulled one goal back for NorthEast United FC in the dying minutes of the match as he reached the end of a low cross. However, he couldn't time his shot properly.

Idrissa Sylla - 7/10

Despite playing as a lead striker, Sylla could take only one shot in the match as Tiri and Jhingan kept him at bay.
