Udanta Singh is what, 20? He will grow with experience... this game was important for him and Bengaluru FC. Congrats to BFC, 1-0 loss away from home in Qatar is never a bad thing... especially in the AFC Cup Final.
With the advantage of hindsight, Roca changing that formation at a crucial stage made a big change. Didn't really bolster attack, scrwed up the defence.
Well played BFC!!! @7negi spot on , Changing the formation ... messed up the subs!!!! Iraqi was better team and won the game. I never seen such nervous Sunil. Real SC11 was invisible but we always look upto him. no one better than him in India. We need better play maker for India and Club if we are going to make impact.
Kudos to BFC for playing their hearts out for the nation. Congratulations to Air Force Club for being deserving winners and for being the first Iraqi club to lift the AFC Cup!
Roca misread the game, rather overestimated his team.....went for 3 in the back.........costed us the match. We should tried to possibly take the match towards, then extra time and penalties by playing defensively. Had they scored in that formation, I would have no complain. They are clearly technically better than us. We can't simply afford to have 3 in the back against them. Roca thought 25 minutes is left, lets take a chance go for the kill. This was not a sensible gamble, but suicide IMO. We simply presented the opportunity to them, even though they were not in their top gears today. And Johnson, take a bow. great great level of commitment. Has anyone seen his reaction after the goal. He even tried to play as forward for last 5 minutes.
Anyways, Vineet should not have missed the kick. and also had the cross being a bit higher in the injury time and reached Johnson's head instead of GK's hand,............
