#2 Lucian Goian (Mumbai City FC)
The 34-year-old center-back Lucian Goian has been an unbreakable wall of the Mumbai defence since last season. He has continued to contribute in similar fashion this time around as well. Once Mumbai got the early lead in the 15th minute, he did well to keep quiet the likes of Marcelinho and Alfaro for most part of the match.
It was a penalty conceded by Raju Gaikwad, which gave Pune a chance to score the equalizer. However, he performed really well and did 7 clearances and 1 block, which rightfully earned him the award of 'Fittest Player' of the game. In their second game this week, he made 8 clearances against the mighty attack of the Kerala Blasters
