After Bengaluru FC’s goalless stalemate against Chennaiyin FC on Sunday, Gurpreet Singh Sandhu became the first goalkeeper in the Indian Super League (ISL) to keep 10 clean-sheets in the league phase of a single season.
That the Blues have conceded just nine goals in 16 games is phenomenal and has more than made up for their problems at the other end of the pitch. Head coach Carles Cuadrat has experimented heavily all over the park and the back-four was not spared either. But two things have always been constant – Gurpreet between the sticks and Juanan Gonzalez in the left centre-back position, proving to be a huge obstacle for the rival forwards.
