ISL 2021-22 | ATK Mohun Bagan sink SC East Bengal 3-0 in Kolkata derby
ATK Mohun Bagan continued their winning spree at the ISL 2021-22 as they won their second match of the season, in as many outings, after they beat SC East Bengal 3-0, in the Kolkata derby. All the goals came in first half itself, with Roy Krishną½§š a, Manvir Singh and Liston Colaco doing the scoring.
ATK Mohun Bagan claimed the Kolkata derby honors as they recorded a comfortable 3-0 win over rivals SC East Bengal in the Hero Indian Super League (ISL) match at the Tilak Maidan in Vasco, Goa on Saturday. All the scoring was done in the first half as Roy Krishna (12ā), Manvirš« Singh (14ā) and Liston Colaco (23ā) put the Mariners in a commanding position which they never surrendered as SC East Bengal failed to register a single shot on target in the match.
After an even start to the gameš°, Aą¶£TK Mohun Bagan took control of the match around the ten-minute mark and it didnāt take them long to open the scoring.
Antonio Habasā men opened up their rivals with a well-worked passing move that saw Pritam Kotal play a one-two with Manvir Singh as he made an overālapping run on the right-hand side and found Krishna with a cut-back. The Fijišan made no mistake in slotting it into the bottom corner and putting ATK Mohun Bagan in front.
SC Ešast Bengal was stunned again this time from Manvir wāØho thumped in his teamās second goal after Joni Kauko had played him through with a defense-splitting pass just two minutes later.
It went from bad to worse for SC East Bengal in the 23rd minute when goalkeeper Arindam Bhattacharja failed to collect a heavy pass in the box allowing Colaco a tap-in in an empty goal. With their tails up, the Mariners pressed ahead for another goal and almost found iāt four minutes later when Krishna fired goalwards. His shot though was straight at Bhattacharja.
Bhattacharja who had suffered an injury in the build-up to Colacoās goal had to be replaced by Suvam Sen in the 33rd minute just two after Kauko missed a great chance to make it 4-0 fš or ATK Mohun Bagan.
SC East Bengal had the best spell of the game in first-half stoppage time and should have pulled one back in the fourth minute of added time when Antonio Peresovicās shot was blocked bšy an ATK š Mohun Bagan defender.
Manuel Diaz replaced Tomislav Mrcela wš„ith Amir Dervisevic at the start of the secondš¼ half but it didnāt have much impact on the game as ATK Mohun Bagan continued to dominate.
The Mariners took the foot off the pedal a bit in the second half in terms of their attacking endeavours that allowed SC East Bengal to have a spell of possessionš after the hour mark but the Red and Gold brigade lacked a cutting edge to hurt Habasā side.
ATK ź¦Mohun Bagan squandered chances to add a fourth goal as substitute David Williams was guilty of lacking sharpness twice in the final ten minutes. Firstly, in the 81st minute, he got the final pass wrong at the end of a sweeping counter-attacking moveš and later in the dying seconds of the game when he fired wildly over with just the goalkeeper to beat.
However, ATK Mohun Bagšan ran out of comfortable winners in the end as they earned the bragging rights in Kolkata.
Habasā men face another big game next as they take on defšending champions Mumbai City FC on Wednesšday while SC East Bengal lock horns with Chennaiyin FC two days later.
