There were no standout performers as NorthEast United picked up a 1-0 win against Hyderabad FC on Wednesday at the Balayogi Stadium.
It was a close game that seemed to go on and on and just as it looked like it was going to be another goalless draw in ISL, Jose Leudo's shot struck Shankar Sampingraj's hand inside the box and the visitors were awarded a penalty. Substitute Maximiliano Barreiro, who had come on after Asamoah Gyan suffered an unfortunate injury at the start of the second half, stepped up and slotted home to give NorthEast full points.
