AFC Cup: ATK Mohun Bagan begin life without Sandesh Jhingan with impressive win over Bengaluru FC
FirstpostA day when one of the club’s most important players Sandesh Jhingan made his transfer to Croatian top flight side HNK Sibenik official, ATK Mohun Bagan ensured they don’t miss their reliable centre-back on the field. The team kept a clean sheet but more importantly, scored two goals against Bengaluru FC to win their first group stage match of 2021 AFC Cup at the National Football Stadium in Male. While ATK Mohun Bagan showed quality and decisiveness in breaking BFC’s defence twice, their opponents didn’t really threaten the team’s new goalkeeper Amrinder Singh although they improved in the second-half. What followed was a typical Antonio Habas ’ team performance as ATK MB sat back, soaked up the attacking pressure and tried to break ahead on the counter.
