It Was good match to see and bringing Usman Ashik in the playing eleven was a good thinking and congratulation and all the best for rest of the season.Team played well though missed open chances

Atlast Chirag has won. Great relief. The team played well in all matched here but the finishing is the concern. Hope sunday and anilkumar can make amends. But anil missed some sitters today. Chirag could have scored atleast 5 goals.Hope there will be a good crowd in Kochi matches.

adwaidh · 17 Dec 2011, 23:29

Justin din't have much possession of the ball after coming on, but he was clean in the few occasions where he was called for.
