Tops & Flops ISL R12: No. 4 goes from hero to zero

ROUND 12 saw the fight for top 4 come to a head, for real. It had massive goalfests and it had gritty draws. There were serious, long term consequences as well, as at least three teams had their semi-final dreams crushed. 

While it's still mathematically possible for each team to make it into the playoffs, the chances for the bottom three franchises Pune City, Mumbai City, and Kerala Blasters getting there are literally next to nothing. But for others like Chennaiyin FC and NorthEast United, their semi-final dreams received a big boost. And Atletico de Kolkata, sitting comfy at the top of the table, became the first team to mathematically secure their playoff ticket. 

Many of these successes and failures came due to team effort, but some individual players left special marks on these results, with their moves, decisions and moments that thoroughly impacted the game. We'll take a look at some of these players now.
