#1 Zokora provides a sense of balance in this Pune team
Didier Zakora produced a piece of magic to give Pune the lead. He drove through the heart of Goas defense from his own half and squared it off for Eugeneson Lyngdoh who only had to place the ball into the net from three yards out. His teammates must really relish playing alongside the experienced Ivorian.
Its rare when a holding midfielder runs 45 yards with such speed. The thirty-four-year-old exhibited why he is vital to his teams chances of winning silverware this season. Every team requires a reference point in order to transition from defense to attack.
Didier Zokora has taken this role upon him and has performed at a high level of efficiency throughout the tournament. His passing accuracy stands at an impressive 86%.
