TOP: Stiven Mendoza

This 23 year old Colombian striker played the leading role in an emphatic comeback that Chennaiyin City pulled off, beating FC Goa 4-0 at their own backyards. Goa coach Zico made the mistake of going with a narrower midfield and Stiven punished him and his whole team by slamming in a hat-trick that left the Gaurs nowhere to run. And he didn't just put the finishing moves on the ball; often during the game he got the ball way below in the midfield and then ran right up with remarkable pace and conviction. His parent club, Brazilian top division side Corinthians will be mighty impressed with the second season he is having with the Super Machans.
