ATKMB vs HFC Match Preview
ATK Mohun Bagan
ATK Mohun Bagan was the better side in creating scoring chances and taking shots on target but golden glove chaser Vishal Kaith had to put up another brilliant show to keep the score-line 0-0 in the first leg at Gachibowli. Having returned from a head injury suffered in the eliminator game against Odisha FC only a week ago, the 26-year-old showed his reliability to keep the opposition at bay. However, Juan Ferrando’s team will be disappointed not to get the win or bring some advantage back home for the second leg. Nevertheless, The ATKMB will try to secure a positive outcome at the Salt Lake Stadium to enter a second ISL final in three seasons having won three of their four games at this venue this year.
Hyderabad FC
Hyderabad FC also went near to breaking the deadlock in front of the home support with Joel Chianese’s header earlier in the game saved heroically by Kaith while Mohammad Yasir’s stunning shot from outside the box hit the upright. It was the evening for the goalkeepers as Gurmeet Singh was also up to the task to deny efforts from Manvir Singh and Asish Rai. Manolo Marquez’s side were left unsatisfied with the result as well. The Nizams will rely on their excellent away record with seven wins and a draw out of 10 matches in the league stage. The two losses in that period came in their last two trips in the league so Hyderabad FC will have to keep their feet on the ground if they are willing to retain their ISL title.
