Hyderabad FC

Laxmikant Kattimani - 7/10

Kattimani had hardly anything to do against NorthEast United and added a relatively simple clean sheet to his name.

---

Akash Mishra - 7.5/10

Mishra continues to impress in the Hyderabad FC defense. His fantastic movement to score the second goal apart, he was a constant threat going forward. Mishra also defended extremely well in yet another splendid outing.

---

Juan Fernandez - 7/10

Fernandez made a couple of key blocks but had a routine outing otherwise.

---

Nim Dorjee Tamang - 7/10

Tamang was very rarely disturbed by the NorthEast United attack, making one tackle and completing 73.1% of his attempted passes.

---

Asish Rai - 7.5/10

Rai started the game slowly but grew into it very quickly with his side in the driving seat. He should've had an assist after some excellent link-up play with Chakrabarti but Joel Chianese sent his shot wide. Rai managed two key passes, two tackles and won two fouls.

---

Joel Chianese - 7.5/10

Chianese was involved in each of Hyderabad FC's first three goals. His early cross was headed onto the post before Ogbeche converted the rebound. Chianese then got the assist for Mishra's header and contributed a header of his own for Ogbeche's second goal.

He missed a glorious chance to score in the second half, but all in all, it was an excellent performance by the Australian.

---

Joao Victor - 7/10

Victor's header led to the first goal and he then sat back to initiate play from deep in midfield. He recorded one key pass, a tackle and completed 84% of his passes in a decent night's work.

---

Souvik Chakrabarti - 7/10

Chakrabarti dug in to nullify NorthEast United's midfield and was often in the right positions to stop their moves. His passing was excellent as well, with the ball over the top to Chianese for the third goal standing out. He also recorded a key pass and won a foul.

---

Nikhil Poojari - 8/10

Poojari was one of Hyderabad FC's biggest threats, constantly taking on the Highlanders backline with great success. His crowning moment was a beautiful outside-of-the-box strike to score late in the game and he also managed to win four fouls and lay on two key passes.

---

Aniket Jadhav - 6/10

Jadhav constantly looked to attack the NorthEast United backline but was well-dealt with initially by Lakra. He faded away a little in the second half, ending the game with a shot on target and a key pass.

---

Bartholomew Ogbeche - 8/10

Ogbeche showed incredible poacher's instincts and was the first to react for both of his goals. His first was an acrobatic volley that flew past Chowdhury in goal. The second goal was quite scrappy, but he and Hyderabad FC won't mind it at all.

---

Hyderabad FC Substitutes

Seityasen Singh - 6/10

Seityasen Singh replaced Jadhav in the 68th minute. He had a couple of bright moments and looked energetic throughout.

---

Sahil Tavora - 7/10

Tavora came on for Chakrabarti in the 76th minute. He got the assist for Poojari's goal after an excellent run and well-weighted pass.

---

Javier Siverio - 7/10

Siverio replaced Ogbeche in the 76th minute. He too got an assist, setting up Edu Garcia with a neat pass to make it 5-0.

---

Mohammad Yasir - 6/10

Yasir came on for Poojari in the 85th minute. He made a couple of good runs but lacked a good final product.

---

Edu Garcia - 7/10

Garcia replaced Chianese for the final five minutes of regulation time. He scored his side's fifth goal with an excellent finish, nutmegging Chowdhury from Siverio's pass.
