He also played a brilliant through ball to Lallianzuala Chhangte after the ball was won back from Punjab's kick-off, who then passed to Jorge Pereyra Diaz, who scored the go-ahead goal, and what was eventually the winning goal.[20] Both goals were scored within a remarkable 52 seconds of each other, with Stewart's strike coming at 81:03, and Diaz's finish going into the net at 81:55.[21] He made his first AFC Champions League appearance of his career away against Al-Hilal SFC as an 80th minute substitute for Jorge Pereyra Diaz, in an eventual 6-0 loss for The Islanders.[22] The crowning moment of Rane's stint came during the first leg of ISL Playoff semi-final away against FC Goa.
