"I took the corner and it was the winning goal. So we are very happy that we are champions now. If you win the game in the last minute, it is something beautiful. The emotions are great and it was really amazing. I am very happy," the Czech player said.
Rafique headed the winning goal off a Podany corner in stoppage time, after starting from the bench in the 74th minute, to help his team win 1-0 over Kerala Blasters last night.
"The corner was from the first post because David James is a very tall goalkeeper and usually he gets the ball if it goes to the far post. Do I tried to put it on the first post and Rafique headed it great and it was a goal," he explained.
His ATK teammate Josemi said they were lucky to secure a win a minute before the final whistle.
He said the team did well to get back on track after struggling in the few games.
"Atletico de Kolkata is a good team. The last four-to-five games we played very well because in the mid way we didn't play very well due to some problems. The last game (final), the team played very well. Everyone played together. I'm very happy for all the hard work of the people," he said.
