ISL-7: ATK Mohun Bagan aim to end Bengaluru FC's unbeaten run

An absorbing contest is on the cards when two in-form teams ATK Mohun Bagan and Bengaluru FC clash each other in the Indian Super League, here on Monday. While ATKMB boast of a strong attacking line-up, they have even better defensive statistics. Bengaluru's figures aren't bad either. They are yet to taste a defeat in the campaign. Though aware of the challenge that awaits for his side, ATKMB coach Antonio Habas has his sights set on nothing less than three points. "I think it's impossible to win every match. The teams are more balanced and it's very difficult for all teams to keep on winning three points," said Habas. "The idea in football is to get three points. I cannot play thinking about the possibility of drawing or losing." ATKMB's defenders have the most number of tackles in the league (233) and have also made the second-most clearances in the league (182). "The idea is marking in the zone and closing down the spaces. You need space for crosses and to create moves. The id

ISL 7: Hyderabad FC hold ATK Mohun Bagan 1-1, maintain unbeaten run

Hyderabad FC rode on Joao Victor's second half penalty to hold ATK Mohun Bagan to a 1-1 draw, maintaining their unbeaten run in the Indian Super League, here on Friday. The duo of Roy Krishna and Manvir Singh looked threatening up front but missed a flurry of chances, while veteran Subrata Pal pulled off some fine saves under the Hyderabad post to keep a clean score-sheet in the first-half. Manvir finally broke the deadlock in the 54th minute capitalising on a defensive lapse by Odei Onaindia. But the Mariners' joy lasted just over 10 minutes as they conceded a soft penalty after Nikhil Poojary was brought down by Manvir with a faint touch. The Brazilian midfielder pounced on the opportunity with a thunderous strike that kissed Arindam Bhattacharja's fingers before getting into the back of the net. The result meant ATK Mohun Bagan failed to get a win from two matches to remain on second spot with 10 points from five matches. ATKMB had lost to Jamshedpur FC in their last match. Pl
