Impressive: Cedric Hengbart (Kerala Blasters)

The wall for the Blasters at the back, Hengbart made some timely tackles and important clearances. After Hughes left the field early in the first half, the defensive duties were shouldered by the experienced Hengbart.

Ralte was a constant threat along the left flank and Hengbart made sure that threat was neutralised. One of those crucial interceptions was made by a sliding Hengbart in the last minute of regulation time, denying Ralte an easy chance for a tap-in.
