Marcelinho

Marcelinho was a one-man army against Kerala Blasters driving forward with his trickery and passing. The Brazilian was desperately unlucky to be on the losing side. The 30-year-old came close on a number of occasions hitting the woodwork twice including an audacious chipped effort.

The FC Pune City captain attempted five shots, the most by a Pune player. The former Delhi Dynamos player also created three chances for his teammates with his set-pieces being particularly threatening. The diminutive playmaker was targeted for some special treatment by Kerala Blasters as he suffered three fouls but they still couldn’t negate the brilliant Brazilian’s impact.
