The likes of V.P. Suhair and Aniket Jadhav continuously troubled the Rajasthan defense. In the 27th minute, the former NorthEast United FC forward tested the RUFC keeper with a left-footed effort. However, Niraj Kumar stepped in with a crucial save. East Bengal's best performer from their last game, Tuhin Das, created the most trouble for Rajasthan United down the left flank. His cross in the dying moments of the first half reached Suhair but the latter couldn't keep his shot on target. East Bengal FC went into half-time with more control of the game. Melroy Assisi emerge as the star defender for Rajasthan United FC in second half against East Bengal FC Rajasthan United FC will have been hoping to strike back after the break.

However, center-back Melroy Assisi proved to be an absolute rock at the back from Rajasthan. While Suhair was on the pitch, Assisi marshaled him brilliantly and then dished out a similar treatment to debutant Eliandro.

The Red and Gold Brigade will next face local rivals ATK Mohun Bagan in the all-important Kolkata derby on Sunday (August 28).
