Arnab Das Sharma (5/10) - The Delhi custodian had a busy night in goal as Jamshedpur FC kept pushing after going two down early in the match. He was beaten twice in situations where he could not do much to save the shots. He had a couple of injury scares but carried on till the end.

Pritam Kotal (5.5/10) - Pritam Kotal had a quiet night compared to his usual standards as Jamshedpur left-back Yumnam Raju kept him in check. Though he did not contribute much in attack, on the defensive front, he was stable against the pacey Jamshedpur FC wingers.

Gabriel Cichero (6.5/10) - The Delhi central defender was stable in the defence as he made a lot of interceptions and tackles as Jamshedpur upped the ante after going down in the match.

Edu Moya (6.5/10) - Moya, who has settled into the centre-back role after initially playing in the midfield, had a good outing on the night as he kept out most of the Jamshedpur attacks. Moya combined well with Cichero in the defence for the away side.

Jeroen Lumu (6.5/10) - The Dutchman, who generally plays as a winger, played at the left-back position as Miguel Portugal played Nandhakumar ahead on the left flank. He was busy on both the ends as he had to deal with Jerry in the defence but also made good overlapping runs whenever Delhi attacked from the left flank.

Paulinho Dias (7.5/10) - The creative midfielder played deeper than his usual role as Delhi aimed to control the Jamshedpur attacks. He moved the ball well around the park and found the runs made by the Delhi attackers.

Vinit Rai (7.5/10) - Vinit Rai has been a great find for Delhi Dynamos this season and again put in a good shift as he played in front of the Delhi defenders. He broke up a lot of plays and tracked back well whenever his support was required by the defenders.

Romeo Fernandes (6/10) - The Goan lad had a poor night compared to his usual standards. His runs and crosses were dealt with well by the Jamshedpur defence and he never got into the rhythm today.

Nandhakumar Sekar (8.5/10) - The young Indian, who has signed permanently for the Dynamos after initially being on loan, played in the left winger position today and proved his worth with two assists from the flank. He put in two superb crosses from the left wing that were headed in by the Delhi skipper Uche.

Lallianzuala Chhangte (8/10) - The youngster was a lively presence in the Delhi attack as he kept the Jamshedpur FC defenders on their toes with his runs through the centre of the pitch. He came close to scoring on a couple of occasions but lacked the clinical finishing in the final third.

Kalu Uche (9/10) - The Nigerian forward grabbed two goals in quick succession as he displayed his aerial prowess nodding two headed goals past Subrata Paul in the Jamshedpur FC goal.

Substitutes:

Matias Mirabaje (5/10) - Mirabaje came on in the 67th minute as Delhi pushed on for the winner but was kept in control by the Jamshedpur defence.

Seityasen Singh (4.5/10) - Singh came on in place of Nandhakumar Sekar on the left wing for the final ten minutes of the match but did not have much time to make a sizeable impact.

Pratik Chowdhary (4/10) - The former Kerala Blasters defender came on for the final minutes as Delhi aimed to hold down the Jamshedpur charge.
