Kerala Blasters

Prabhsukhan Gill - 7/10

Gill made a number of fantastic saves to keep Kerala Blasters in the match.


Sandeep Singh - 6/10

Sandeep Singh was booked just four minutes into the match but did well defensively otherwise.


Marko Leskovic - 7/10

Leskovic was excellent at the back for Kerala Blasters and had the most touches in the match with 112. He also completed 84 passes and recorded six clearances, including one off the goal-line, two interceptions and a tackle.

However, his penalty in the shootout was saved fairly easily by Kattimani.


Ruivah Hormipam - 7.5/10

It was yet another disciplined display in defense from Hormipam, who hardly gave Hyderabad FC's attackers any space to operate with near the box. He made three tackles and won six duels.


Harmanjot Khabra - 7.5/10

Khabra did extremely well to keep Jadhav quiet and also popped up in attacking areas with two key passes. The Kerala Blasters right-back also made one incredible block from Siverio's shot in the second half.


Adrian Luna - 7/10

Luna has often delivered in big moments and put in another impressive display against Hyderabad FC. He saw a free-kick saved, recorded two key passes and also completed a dribble. It was a surprise not to see him take a penalty in the shootout.


Lalthathanga Khawlhring - 7/10

Puitea put in a fantastic performance and seemed to cover every blade of grass for Kerala Blasters. He won two fouls, two interceptions and a tackle.


Jeakson Singh - 7/10

Jeakson Singh was largely good in midfield, even getting the assist for Rahul's goal. He also hit the woodwork in extra-time with a header, while making three interceptions and a block.

However, his spot-kick in the shootout was weak and easily saved by Kattimani.


Rahul KP - 7.5/10

Rahul was slightly fortunate to score as the ball squirmed under Kattimani. However, it was deserved for his work-rate on the night, which saw him win eight duels and make an excellent four tackles.


Alvaro Vazquez - 6/10

Vazquez hit the crossbar with an incredible strike in the first half but was subdued otherwise. Hyderabad FC did a good job defending against him, though he did manage a shot on target and a key pass.


Jorge Pereyra Diaz - 6.5/10

Pereyra Diaz worked hard all night and even made a crucial tackle in the build-up to Kerala Blasters' goal. He also laid out two key passes for his teammates.


Substitutes

Nishu Kumar - 6/10

Kumar came on for Rahul in the 82nd minute. He had a couple of bright moments but saw his penalty saved in the shootout.


Chencho Gyeltshen - 6/10

Gyeltshen's pace worried Hyderabad FC's defense at times after he replaced Pereyra Diaz in the 92nd minute. He had a shot blocked as well.


Ayush Adhikari - 6.5/10

Adhikari came on for Khawlhring in the 98th minute. While he had a limited impact in extra-time, he was the only Kerala Blasters player to score in the shootout with an excellent penalty.


Vincy Barretto - N/A

Barretto showed off his pace at times after replacing Vazquez in the 115th minute, but didn't have a single touch of the ball.
