The veteran midfielder has recently come under a lot of praise for his performances, especially the one against Minerva Punjab, where he scored a peach of a long-ranger to win the match for East Bengal.

However, it was not the same Lobo that was out there on the pitch today. He failed to give Amna and Katsumi that launch pad that they needed to have the freedom to go forward and attack the Lajong defence. He was eventually taken off in the second half by manager Khalid Jamil and was replaced by Gabriel Fernandes. The 29-year-old needs to get back into form, if East Bengal are to succeed with their title claim.
