After the match, Derrick Pereira, Salgaocar's coach, stressed the importance of a fine striker up front to aim for and create play for the team and the Lions of Pune can be happy they have just the one they need in Kris Bright. The Bharat FC forward was in fine form, as he notched up his third goal in four games for the Pune-based I-League newbies. He was involved in both of Bharat's goals as firstly, he nudged a high ball from the defense into Rajinder Kumar's path on the right for him to earn the corner that eventually led to the opening goal.
