Players to Watch Out:

Bright Enobakhare (SC East Bengal)

The Nigerian has been a blessing for the Red and Gold who were in shambles until their game against the Juggernauts. He is only 22 but his maturity in decisions seems exquisite. He can penetrate any and hopefully, he'll be the difference for his side.

Igor Angulo (FC Goa)

The Gaur has been a savior for his side. He is already hailed as the best striker of the tournament and there is no one questioning that. The Spaniard has nine goals to his name so far in the competition, and his presence at the right spot in the injury-time is something very rare strikers have.

He can put the SC East Bengal backline back to where they were before their first victory.
