Roy Krishna nets winner as ATKMB continue perfect run

GOA: An injury-time winner from Roy Krishna helped ATK Mohun Bagan secure a hard-fought victory over Odisha FC in the Hero Indian Super League Season 7 at the Fatorda Stadium, here on Thursday.

Krishna (90+5'), netted his third goal in as many games to ensure the Mariners climbed to the top of the ISL table.

Both teams made one change to their line-ups. Manvir Singh, making his 50th appearance, was handed his first start for the Mariners while Diego Mauricio started upfront for Odisha FC.

The first half proved to be a cagey affair but both sides failed to grab their chances and take the lead.

The second half was entertaining with both sides threatening one another.

It was Stuart Baxter's side that started strong after the break but were once again, unable to penetrate the ATKMB defense. The Mariners also had their chances but weren't clinical in front of goal.

But just when it seemed like the game would be heading for a draw, a perfectly executed set-piece during injury time helped Habas' men secure the three points.

Tiri sent the ball into the box and Sandesh Jhingan flicked the ball towards goal, which was headed in by Krishna.

The result ensured Odisha FC's winless run continued. Agencies
