Khel Now’s round-up highlights Indian players who made decisive interventions during the five fixtures this week.
Jithin MS continued his strong run for the Highlanders against Bengaluru FC, initiating a rapid counterattack and finishing with a composed left-footed strike. The report states he has been operating on a whole new level this season and has so far been the best Indian player for the Highlanders. P N Noufal produced an impressive performance against SC Delhi but could not lead his side to victory; he used pace and trickery to split the backline, registered five key passes and provided two assists as the creator of both Mumbai’s goals versus Delhi.
Amrinder Singh recorded what the piece describes as his best display in Kerala Blasters colours this season, keeping three clean sheets in four matches and making six saves this week — the joint most by any goalkeeper — with four of those saves from inside the box, a showing credited with helping Kerala Blasters secure a point against Chennaiyin FC. Abdul Rabeeh has adapted to a different role at NorthEast United, making 15 defensive contributions (the most by any defender), winning all of his ground duels and making advancing runs to link up with the attackers for Juan Pedro Benali’s side.
Nora Fernandes was identified as the point of difference in the SC Delhi–Mumbai City FC match after conceding two first-half goals but producing six impactful saves for Delhi, including four from inside the box and one punch out, and putting his body on the line to secure three vital points for his side. Vinith Venkatesh made a late substitute appearance in Guwahati and scored a stoppage-time equaliser for Bengaluru FC, rescuing a massive point for the Blues away from home.
Muhammad Ajsal took six minutes to score his second-ever ISL goal for Mumbai City FC, combining with Noufal, winning the ball in the middle and finishing with a sweet left-footed strike from the centre of the box to put the Islanders ahead. Akshat Mehra turned the game for Sporting Delhi after coming off the bench in the 89th minute and, two minutes later, scored the equaliser that initiated a comeback; the report says this will bring him a world of confidence heading into the season.
Sumeet Passi scored an equaliser for Inter Kashi against FC Goa after a late run into the box, but the goal was not enough to change the result; the article describes him as a household name in Indian football whose experience and high work rate make him an important asset for Inter Kashi. Zothanpuia scored Mumbai City’s second goal versus Delhi with a calm finish past Nora Fernandes, registered a passing accuracy of 85% and produced two shots on target as he progresses into senior football.
