In a crunch game where both ATK and FC Goa needed the 3 points, a penalty decided the winner of the game. ATK Mohun Bagan looked the more threatening side throughout the game, hitting the woodwork once. The game finally sprung to life when ATK were awarded a penalty in the 85th minute after Roy Krishna was fouled in the box by FC Goa defender Aiban Dohling.
The 33 year old made no mistakes converting the spot kick from 12 yards out, giving the Mariners a 1-0 lead with only a few minutes to go. FC Goa missed a sitter in the last few minutes of the game, adding to the drama. Three points for ATK Mohun Bagan means they are level on points with league leaders Mumbai City FC but still behind on goal difference.
FC Goa looked like they were on a good run, picking up two victories before tonight’s loss against ATK Mohun Bagan. The Gaurs are 6th in the league with 8 points.
