#4 Jonathan Lucca scores a blinder to give Pune the lead
FC Pune City's 24-year-old Brazilian playmaker, Jonathan Lucca featured in only seven matches during the ISL season. Coach, Popovic sparsely used him and he was surely not expected to start tonight.
However, he sure made a case for himself with a splendid free kick inside the opening 20 minutes of the game. Pune won a free-kick which was at a considerable distance from goal. Up stepped Lucca and nestled the ball right into the top corner.
Mind you, Shillong's keeper, Nidhin Lal had ample time to spot the trajectory of the ball. But there was very little he could do. Lucca's peach of a free-kick flew right into the corner. It had swerve and the right amount of pace. A carbon copy of the goal he scored against Bengaluru FC during the ISL season.
