ATK Mohun Bagan and Odisha played out anything but a timid 0-0 draw in a Hero Indian Super League (ISL) game in Fatorda, on Sunday. Odisha, with 17 points, are now placed sixth in the league table while ATK Mohun Bagan are seventh with 16 points, having played two games less.
ATK Mohun Bagan face arch-rivals SC East Bengal in the Derby on January 29. ATK Mohun Bagan, the ‘home’ team never looked like they had been out of action for a while, being on the front foot from the word go.
Roy Krishna showed early intentions with a drive from close but the angle was too acute as goalie Arshdeep Singh saved it without any fuss.
Liston Colaco let fly a long ranger soon after as ATK Mohun Bagan bossed the game. Victor Mongil then had to put his body on the line to keep a David Williams piledriver at bay as the ball went out for a corner.
It was a stunning block from Mongil as Odisha lived to fight another day.
