Mirshad Michu - 6/10

Michu put in a largely assured performance in the NorthEast United goal, but was thoroughly beaten for the Odisha FC winner.

---

Gurjinder Kumar - 6/10

Kumar looked to bomb forward when possible, but was kept in check by Antonay. The NorthEast United left-back managed two key passes and a tackle.

---

Hernan Santana - 6/10

Santana looked composed in the first half, often bringing the ball out of defense for his team. However, he seemed overwhelmed in the second half, committing a team-high four fouls.

---

Mashoor Shereef - 5.5/10

Shereef had a game to forget, as he was poor with his passing. Additionally, both he and Lakra failed to close down Moirangthem for Odisha FC's winner as well.

---

Provat Lakra - 5.5/10

Lakra offered precious little in attack and was at fault for the goal that cost NorthEast United the game. It was a forgettable evening for the right-back.

---

Sehnaj Singh - 6.5/10

Singh's set-piece deliveries were a threat to Odisha FC's defenders. He also managed three tackles and was generally solid in midfield.

---

Khassa Camara - 6/10

Camara's decision-making was questionable at times, like in the first half when he had space to run into the box, but he chose to strike from range.

The shot was eventually a poor miss, and in the context of the game, a big chance for NorthEast United that went begging. He did manage a couple of tackles and a key pass, but his team needed more from their defensive midfielder.

---

Mathias Coureur - 5.5/10

Coureur was arguably the greatest threat to Odisha FC's defenders. However, he too was let down by his decisions in the final third. Coureur took three shots (none on target), two of which he should've scored with.

The first was a curler with Kamaljit Singh out of position, while the second was a free header. However, he sent both attempts wide of the post, and NorthEast United were left to rue those misses.

---

VP Suhair - 6/10

Suhair was almost anonymous throughout the game, but did register three key passes before being subbed off.

---

Deshorn Brown - 6/10

It was a frustrating night for Brown, who was often starved of service as Odisha FC did well to keep the NorthEast United forward in check. He did have a couple of chances to test the goalkeeper in the first half, but his finishing was poor.

---

Rochharzela - 5.5/10

Rochharzela did well defensively, making two tackles, but lacked the creativity and incision up front to trouble the Odisha FC backline.

---

NorthEast United FC Substitutes

Imran Khan - 7/10

A lone bright spark for the Highlanders in a disappointing performance, Khan replaced Rochharzela in the 58th minute. He won a couple of fouls and sent in some dangerous crosses, but couldn't help his team find the much-needed breakthrough.

---

Gani Nigam - 6/10

Nigam came on for Suhair in the 77th minute, but couldn't offer much creativity in the final third against a tight Odisha FC defense.

---

Lalkhawpuimawia - 6/10

He was NorthEast's final throw of the dice, replacing Sehnaj Singh in the 83rd minute. However, Lalkhawpuimawia couldn't do much to rescue a point for the Highlanders.
