ATK Mohun Bagan 3-1 SC East Bengal: Player Ratings as Kiyan Nassiri steals the show with a sensational hat-trick

ATK Mohun Bagan scored twice in second-half stoppage-time to secure a 3-1 win over SC East Bengal in a scintillating ISL 2021-22 contest. Kiyan Nassiri became the youngest player in ISL history to score a hat-trick during his 30-minute cameo off the bench.

Darren Sidoel gave the Red and Gold Brigade the lead in the 56th minute before Nassiri scored with virtually his first kick of the ball eight minutes later. David Williams then missed a penalty but just as the game looked set to end in a stalement, Nassiri scored in the third minute of injury-time.

An error by the SC East Bengal defense then saw the 21-year-old score a third barely 90 seconds later to give his side a famous victory.

Here are the player ratings from the contest:

---

ATK Mohun Bagan

Amrinder Singh - 7/10

Singh made some good saves on the night for ATK Mohun Bagan. His effort to deny Lalrinliana Hnamte from just a few yards out was simply spectacular.

---

Subhasish Bose - 6.5/10

Bose linked up well with Colaco down the left and was a constant threat to the SC East Bengal defense. He completed 94.8% of his passes, made a tackle and registered a key pass.

---

Jose Arroyo - 6/10

Tiri looked a little suspect in the first half, often being bullied off the ball by Ribeiro and Perosevic. However, he settled down once his side began dominating proceedings.

---

Pritam Kotal - 6.5/10

Kotal made a couple of crucial tackles when SC East Bengal looked to hit the Mariners on the counter in a solid overall display.

---

Prabir Das - 6/10

Das looked to join the attack, but was a little indecisive after moving into the final third. He did make two tackles defensively and completed 92.7% of his attempted passes as well.

---

Carl McHugh - 6/10

McHugh had a couple of nervy moments and several weak headed clearances. However, he grew into the game in the second half, recording three key passes and getting three shots (none on target) away as well.

---

Deepak Tangri - 7/10

Tangri was mostly solid in midfield and even had one powerful shot that whistled wide. He was also good with his distribution for ATK Mohun Bagan, completing 89.5% of his attempted passes and laying out three key passes as well.

---

Liston Colaco - 6.5/10

Colaco put in a mixed display that was sprinkled with moments of genius as well as multiple instances of poor decision-making. He hit the crossbar with one incredible right-footed effort and was heavily involved in two of the three goals. However, only one of his eight attempts on goal was on target.

Colaco also gave Amarjit Singh Kiyam all sorts of trouble, even winning a penalty with some excellent showboating.

---

Hugo Boumous - 6.5/10

Boumous constantly looked to drive forward and had a game-high 105 touches against SC East Bengal. The ATK Mohun Bagan midfielder had no shots on target but did lay out three key passes for his teammates.

---

Manvir Singh - 6/10

Manvir Singh struggled to really influence the game and was unfortunate to see Sidoel's effort deflect off of him and into the goal. However, he left several SC East Bengal defenders in his wake for the third goal.

---

David Williams - 6/10

It was a hardworking performance from Williams, who laid out three key passes for his team-mates. However, he shot miles over the bar with his penalty and should've buried his near-post header in the build-up to the Mariners' winner.

Kiyan Nassiri - 10/10

Nassiri replaced Tangri in the 61st minute on a night where he made history. He had an instant impact as he got the Mariners level with a fantastic right-footed curler just three minutes later. Nassiri then put ATK Mohun Bagan ahead in stoppage-time with a beautifully struck half-volley.

The icing on the cake was his third goal following a mistake from SC East Bengal just 90 seconds later to make it a night to remember. It was a simply stunning performance from the 21-year-old, whose technique, skill and execution were fantastic for all three goals.

---

Lenny Rodrigues - N/A

Rodrigues came on for Williams with barely seconds left on the clock.

SC East Bengal

Arindam Bhattacharya - 6/10

Bhattacharya could do nothing about any of the Mariners' goals and didn't have much to do otherwise.

---

Hira Mondal - 6.5/10

Mondal's goal-line clearance was one of the highlights of SC East Bengal's defensive display before their implosion in the final minutes. He made three tackles on the night and got stuck in, but simply couldn't get near Manvir Singh for the final goal.

---

Franjo Prce - 6.5/10

Prce was the driving force behind his team keeping ATK Mohun Bagan at bay for as long as they did. He wasn't directly at fault for any of the goals and simply didn't receive enough support from his fellow defenders.

---

Adil Khan - 5.5/10

A strong first-half performance was followed by a dismal display after the break from Khan. His mix-up with Sourav Das in the build-up to Nassiri's first goal was poor and he also allowed Williams to get ahead of him for ATK Mohun Bagan's winner. Khan was also partially at fault for the third goal.

---

Ankit Mukherjee - N/A

Mukherjee unfortunately picked up an injury less than 10 minutes into the game and was substituted for Amarjit Singh Kiyam.

---

Wahengbham Angousana - 6/10

Angousana was anonymous for much of the game. He should've had an assist with the score at 1-1 when he laid out a neat one-touch pass for Lalrinliana Hnamte, but Amrinder Singh came up with an incredible save.

---

Sourav Das - 6/10

Das' baffling attempt to chest Colaco's cross down in his own box was a major reason for ATK Mohun Bagan's first goal. He looked a little shaky after that error despite enjoying a fairly solid first half.

---

Darren Sidoel - 7/10

Sidoel opened the scoring for SC East Bengal with a deft touch at the near post from Perosevic's corner and a little help from Manvir Singh. He also helped his defense cope with the Mariners' initial threat in a good performance.

---

Naorem Mahesh Singh - 7/10

Mahesh Singh put in yet another hardworking performance. While he had no shots on target, his link-up play was good and he registered two key passes. The SC East Bengal forward also tracked back well to make three tackles.

---

Antonio Perosevic - 7/10

Perosevic was one of his team's biggest threats going forward, getting two shots on target. He initially combined well with Ribeiro and Roshan Singh and even got the assist for Sidoel's goal. However, his influence faded away with ATK Mohun Bagan growing in stature after their equalizer.

---

Marcelo Ribeiro - 5.5/10

Ribeiro missed a glaring chance in the first half after going one-on-one with Amrinder Singh. He had no shots on target throughout the game in a lackluster performance.

---

SC East Bengal Substitutes

Amarjit Singh Kiyam - 5.5/10

Kiyam replaced Mukherjee just 10 minutes into the match. He initially handled Colaco well but seemed to lose his concentration after the break. Kiyam also fouled the ATK Mohun Bagan forward in the box, but fortunately for him, Williams skied the penalty.

---

Mohammad Rafique - 6/10

Rafique came on for Sidoel in the 67th minute. He added some steel to the midfield and also made some crucial clearances towards the end.

---

Lalrinliana Hnamte - 6/10

Hnamte replaced Ribeiro in the 67th minute. He should've scored from a well-struck close-range effort but was foiled by Amrinder Singh.

---

Subha Ghosh - N/A

Ghosh came on for Perosevic in injury-time and didn't see much of the ball in the end.

---

Thongkhosiem Haokip - N/A

Haokip replaced Mahesh Singh in stoppage-time and couldn't really impact the game.
