ATK Mohun Bagan dominated the proceedings in the first half of the game. Manvir Singh angled his shot perfectly into the far post with his left foot. Later, Odisha FC’s goalkeeper Arshdeep Singh produced a fine save to deny Marcelinho from a one-on-one situation.
However, Odisha FC steered back in the last fifteen minutes of the first half and scored an equalizer through Cole Alexander.
Previously, Manvir Singh donned the role of a bench-warmer for FC Goa and scored only three goals in three seasons. However, after making the move to ATK Mohun Bagan, the Indian international has improved his game massively. Manvir has already scored four goals this season and is only behind Sunil Chhetri in the list of leading Indian goalscorers.
“Our first objective is to qualify for the playoffs” - ATK Mohun Bagan coach Antonio Lopez Habas
Pronay Halder will miss ATK Mohun Bagan’s next match against Bengaluru FC as he picked up his fourth yellow card. However, Antonio Lopez Habas is not worried about his absence as he has confidence in his bench.
ATK Mohun Bagan is breathing down the neck of Mumbai City FC for the summit position in the points table. The winner of the league stages of ISL will get a chance to represent India in the AFC Champions League. However, Habas has his eyes set only on the playoffs at the moment.
