Manuel Lanzarote once again showed his class as he did regularly for ATK even when the rest of the squad played pretty ordinary football.

It was his vital pass which helped Balwant Singh equalise when they were down 0-1 in the first half. His touch was gentle but effective, just the quality a playmaker should possess.

He scored the second goal for ATK, which was again a masterclass for the Spaniard. He placed the ball with his left foot with a gentle strike from quite some distance. The ball hit the inner part of the woodwork and went into the net, giving them a 2-1 lead.

Apart from the two goals in which he was involved, Lanzarote was the lifeline for ATK in the midfield.

His distribution was exceptional and the Spanish flair was clearly visible in his play. With ATK set to face even tougher opponents in the semi-final of the Super Cup, the foreigner is set to play a key role.
