SC East Bengal player ratings
Arindam Bhattacharya - 6.5/10
ISL veteran Arindam Bhattacharya made some excellent saves for SC East Bengal to keep Jamshedpur FC out for a major portion of the game. However, he was comprehensively beaten for the winner.
Hira Mondal - 7/10
Mondal was arguably his side's best player on the night and allowed little to go past him. The left-back was immense, though he did allow a few crosses to float in from his side in the second half.
Adil Khan - 6/10
Khan was solid for SC East Bengal throughout the first half, making two tackles and keeping Jordan Murray largely quiet. However, he went off early in the second half with an injury.
Ankit Mukherjee - 6/10
Mukherjee struggled with his passing, often resorting to long-ball attempts over the Jamshedpur FC midfield. However, he was a solid presence throughout the game.
Amarjit Singh Kiyam - 6/10
Amarjit Singh looked bright defensively but needs to work on his attacking output.
Sourav Das - 7/10
Das was fantastic in the middle of the pitch, shielding his defense extremely well. He managed two tackles on the night and helped keep Jamshedpur FC largely at bay.
Naorem Mahesh Singh - 6/10
Naorem Mahesh did well to track back and help SC East Bengal defend but was a no-show in attack.
Mohammad Rafique - 6/10
Rafique did well to hold on to the ball, winning two fouls. He commanded his midfielders well and kept them on their toes.
Wahengbam Angousana - 5.5/10
Angousana had an off-night in which he could contribute nothing going forward. He completed just 57.1% of his attempted passes and looked off the pace at times.
Lalrinliana Hnamte - 5.5/10
Hnamte had just 18 touches of the ball throughout the 90 minutes against Jamshedpur FC. To his credit, he did manage a key pass but the Red and Gold Brigade have to find a way to use his pace and creativity more.
Thongkhosiem Haokip - 6/10
Haokip was often left isolated up top, but did have a couple of half-chances and registered SC East Bengal's only shot on target.
SC East Bengal substitutes
Darren Sidoel - 6/10
Sidoel replaced Adil Khan in the 57th minute and did well to clear out the crosses sent in by Jamshedpur FC.
Balwant Singh - 4.5/10
Balwant Singh was at fault for the goal, losing Pandita all too easily. He could also contribute nothing in attack after coming on for Naorem Mahesh Singh.
Jackichand Singh - N/A
Jackichand Singh came on too late to impact the game for his side.
