While East Bengal were definitely woeful in taking the chances that they got, some credit has to go to the Indian Arrows who defended heroically.

Normally known for sticking to their attacking ethos, the young Arrows decided to knuckle down and hold out for a point as the match wore on. And put everything on the line to deny East Bengal.

Prabhsukhan Singh Gill, their goalkeeper, was excellent, making a string of fine saves to deny the Kolkata giants. It was a cruel blow for him and his side when they conceded right at the death from Dudu's header.

He was named the man-of-the-match for his performance, but he was struggling to hold back tears even as he picked up this award post-match, the disappointment visible on his face.
