Defending Champions ATK got their first home win of ISL 2017, as they edged past Delhi Dynamos with a 1-0 victory courtesy a wonder strike from their star man Robbie Keane.
This win takes ATK up to the seventh spot on the ISL table, above last season's runners-up Kerala Blasters. The defending champions had started off the season on a poor note, but with the return from injury of their star man, and new signing Ryan Taylor, the Kolkata-based side have sprung back to form.
Here, we take a look at how the players performed in the match.
ATK
Debjit Majumder (9/10): The former Mohun Bagan shot-stopper had a brilliant game and made plenty of quality saves.
Prabir Das (8.5/10): Prabir made some cohesive runs on the right flank, beating Pratik on pace to deliver some quality balls into the box.
Anwar Ali (7/10): The veteran defender had a decent game with some timely interceptions.
Tom Thorpe (8/10): He used his experience to ATK's benefits by organising the defensive midfield and did not allow the Dynamos' strikers a single inch to encroach upon.
Ashutosh Mehta (7.5/10): The Mumbaikar was rock solid at the back with a brilliant show in physical and aerial duels.
Conor Thomas (8/10): The experience and game reading ability allowed ATK to hold possession and carefully build up from the middle of the park. His presence was pivotal to all the chances ATK got to take the lead.
Hitesh Sharma (8.5/10): The youngster worked intensely hard throughout the course of the game and won some important balls.
Ryan Taylor (8/10): The former Newcastle United man's game reading ability and swift passing of the ball troubled Dynamos and opened up several chances for Zequinha.
Zequinha (8/10): The Portuguese got ample amount of chances to score but he squared them up at crucial moments. His terrifying pace was a menace for the Lions at the back. The only thing he lacked was the final finish.
Jayesh Rane (8.5/10): The Mumbaikar had a terrific game and his combination at the front with Zequinha and Keane proved lethal several times. He even missed a header in the opening exchanges of the game.
Robbie Keane (9.5/10): The main man of today's game. His fiery pace, reading of the game and expert balls allowed ATK to keep knocking at the door of the Dynamos throughout the game. He was rewarded finally when he rounded up four defenders to slot the ball past a hapless Arnab Das Sharma to take the match home.
Delhi Dynamos
Arnab Das Sharma (8/10): The young goalkeeper who got his first chance for Delhi Dynamos in place of an injured Albino Gomes had a decent outing but could not keep a clean sheet.
Pritam Kotal (7.5/10): The Captain at the back came second to some physical duels but won several half balls and had a decent game as well overall.
Rowilson Rodrigues (7/10): The side-back had an average game as he was outrun by Keane and Zequinha on several occasions in the first half.
Pratik Chowdhary (6.5/10): The Mumbaikar had a game to forget as Prabir Das outran him on several occasions at the right flank and was also blanked out by Robbie Keane.
Munmun Lugun (6/10): Lugun was pretty average and was outclassed by Tom Thorpe and Conor Thomas in physical and aerial duels. Poor passing and easily being caught out of possession were some of the traits shown by him on the pitch.
Paulinho Dias (7/10): He had a tough time on the field due to lack of quality balls to the middle but he showed some signs of individual brilliance in the second half.
Edu Moya (6.5/10): Like Dias, Edu Moya too could not produce his best as he was heavily marked by his ATK counterparts in the middle of the pitch.
Matias Mirabaje (6/10): Matias had a decent game in the second half but his balls were pretty wasteful in the opening exchanges of the first half.
Jeroen Lumu (6.5/10): Lumu was pretty wasteful with no intent of scoring as he was easily outshone by Ashutosh Mehta.
Romeo Fernandes (7.5/10): The Goan had a decent game with several instances of skills on show; his shots were blocked and his crosses often troubled the ATK defence.
Guyon Fernandez (6/10): Fernandez, due to the lack of quality balls from the middle of the park, had an extremely tough time in front of the ATK goal.
