Ahmed Jahouh will go down as one of the best signings in the Indian Super League history. The midfielder's dirty work in the middle of the park always lives in the shadows of Ferran Corominas who has been scoring plenty of goals at the front.

The 30-year-old struck the crossbar in the third minute of the game after launching a sweet shot from outside the box, but his overall game was disappointing. Ahmed looked off the pace tonight and struggled to contain the likes of Xisco Hernandez and Dimas Delgado who enjoyed playing in the second half.

There was no doubt that the Moroccan was dragged out by Miku who played a through ball to Udanta Singh in the buildup for the second goal. His partner Lenny Rodrigues will not be happy with his performance too. Bengaluru had far more technicians to advance in the attacking play and excel.
