An absolute thriller! What started off as a nightmare for ATK Mohun Bagan turned into a fairy tale for the visiting side. Despite conceding an early goal, Juan Ferrando's men held their nerves and bagged two goals before heading towards the dressing room. The Kolkata giants started the second half on the front, adding a third goal. However, it turned into a nervy affair after Vishal Kaith fumbled a Rahul KP shot and allowed the Tuskers to get themselves into the game. But two late goals turned the tide in favor of the Green and Maroon Brigade.
