The gulf in class between the two teams was evident (apart from Talal and Saul)
East Bengal might do well to keep in mind what Alex Ferguson said, '“Attack wins you games, defence wins you titles.” Defensively, they were all over the place, just like last year...if they continue to do so, any ambitions that they have in the ISL would go up in smoke
IMO Altyn was a beatable team if EB had their best XI. With this defense you can't win AFC matches. Conceding 3 goals means you will probably lose the match. Scoring 4 goals is not easy. Nunga, Vishnu, Aman, unfit Cleiton, half fit Diamantakos - you thought you will win. No. Hijazi needs to get some power in right foot as well. At the moment it is close to zero. Carles' strategy and game reading are also questionable.
