#5 Danilo (NorthEast United FC)

Danilo (black)

​

The NorthEast United striker had impressed in the first two matches for the Highlanders but had failed to find the back of the net. The former Santos academy product was once again superb against Delhi Dynamos, as he tirelessly closed down Delhi Dynamos defenders and held the ball upfront for his fellow attackers.

He got the reward for his tireless display when he was in the right place to profit from Delhi keeper Albino Gomes' lapse. His goal was NorthEast United’s second of the match and helped them win their first match of ISL 2017. With a goal under his belt, Danilo will be confident of leading NorthEast United’s attack.
