NorthEast United FC
Mirshad Michu (5): The NorthEast United FC custodian had a bad day at the office. His decision-making allowed the Islanders to capitalize.
Provat Lakra (6): The NorthEast United FC full-back was good in patches. He supported Suhair Vadakkepeedika while pressing them in the final third but was poor in 1v1 situations against Bipin Singh. He was caught ball watching on certain occasions.
Patrick Flottmann (6): The centre-back put up a decent performance. He was a little off-colour from his usual days.
Tondomba Singh (6): Playing against Ygor Catatau made Tondomba's life pretty difficult. He was mostly over-powered by the forward but put up a good fight to keep the duels balanced.
Hernan Santana (7): The former Mumbai City FC defender was very good on the ball and kept it to himself before playing a forward pass. He was able to operate within small spaces.
Imran Khan (6.5): He was good with his passing abilities but was not entirely consistent.
Sehnaj Singh (6): Playing in place of the injured Khassa Camara, Sehnaj was decent throughout the game for NorthEast United FC.
Pragyan Gogoi (6): Pragyan was laborious in this ISL fixture but also gave away cheap fouls.
Suhair Vadakkepeedika (7.5): Suhair has been a revelation for NorthEast United FC. The forward has been prolific for the Highlanders in both attack and defense.
Deshorn Brown (8): The NorthEast United FC forward kept his ISL team in the game through its entirety.
Mathias Coureur (7): Mathias has been a key weapon for NorthEast United FC in the absence of Federico Gallego.

Rochharzela (6): The attacker had a decent game with no huge impact.
Mohamed Irshad (5.5): The substitute was decent throughout his time on the field.

Amey Ranawade (6.5): The full-back was a good support in attack and covered the ground to get back in shape.

Mandar Dessai (6): Mandar had a decent game with no significant threat.
Langlenmawia (6.5): Covered a lot of ground but was not his usual assertive self.

Igor Angulo (7.5): Scored two goals. He was a constant threat inside the box.
Ygor Catatau (7): Played on the right flank and was a constant threat with his physicality.
