If Ogbeche is the heart of this NorthEast United side, then Rowllin and Leudo are the backbones of this unit. Both the central midfielders of Northeast United FC have been brilliant this season and today was no different.

Both Leudo and Rowllin had an impressive game, and it was latter who started the scoring for NorthEast United FC.

His finesse from the edge of the box in the fourth minute was perfect as it went into the top corner leaving Amrinder with no chance to save the shot.

Leudo had an absolute gem of a game as he stopped almost everything that Mumbai created in midfield. His interceptions and blocking of passing channels were top class today.

It is safe to say that Leudo and Rowllin are the chief architects of today's victory. Rowllin was rightly awarded the man of the match award for his performance today.

With a foot in the playoffs position, NorthEast United have to thank Rowllin and Leudo for their performance throughout the season.
