On this note, let's take a look at the player ratings of both the clubs.
Jamshedpur FC
Subrata Pal (2/10) - He's been the best Goalkeeper in the ISL so far. But, he committed a silly mistake in just the 7th minute of the game. He got a straight red and was sent off. Getting a red card that early cost Jamshedpur FC the match.
Y. Raju (5/10) - The full-back had a quiet game and could not do much against the likes of Coro, Boumous, and Lanzarote. He was weak defensively and offensively.
A. Bikey (5.5/10) - He was strong in the heart of the defense and had a decent 1st half, but was poor in the 2nd half. He wasn't confident enough in his passes and, clearances but, showed good aggression in defense.
Tiri (5/10) - The Spanish center-back was strong in defense, but was too aggressive at times. He made a few unnecessary challenges and, got himself a yellow card in the 1st half of the game.
S. Chakraborty (4/10) - Both the full-backs were poor and, ineffective against FC Goa's attackers and midfielders. He was making forward runs in the entire game, but failed to create an impact.
Memo (5.5/10) - The Brazilian midfielder tried to create a few chances in the 1st half, but was not effective enough. He had a relatively quiet 2nd half.
B. Jairu (N/A) - Jairu was sacrificed and substituted in the 9th minute of the game after Subrata Pal got a red card. He hardly had any game time.
J. Mawihmingthanga (4.5/10) - After the red card, Jamshedpur FC hardly created any chances and FC Goa was all over them.
Wellington Priori (6.5/10) - The former NorthEast United midfielder was the only one who was looking to create chances and delivered a few good crosses into the box. But, his passes were not converted by any of the Jamshedpur players.
Farukh Choudhary (6/10) - The young Indian forward was playing on the flanks and looked creative and dangerous on a few occasions of the game. He was probably one of the best players for Jamshedpur FC.
Azuka (6/10) - The forward was poor in the 6-yard box and failed to score on many occasions. He did run in through the defense a couple of times, but, he was very inconsistent in the box.
Substitutes:
Sanjiban Ghosh (5/10) - The Goalkeeper was underconfident on the night and failed to communicate clearly with the defense and conceded three goals. He did make a couple of good saves in the 1st half and, denied Coro of his hattrick with a great save in the 2nd half.
Trindade (5.5/10) - He came in the 62nd minute in place of Bikey. He showed good intensity and speed in a short span but failed to score or assist the team.
Belfort (5/10) - He replaced Azuka on the field in the final 30 minutes of the game. Like Trindade, even he showed good intensity and was moving the ball forward with great confidence.
