That's all from the live coverage of the first match of the evening. This has been Gaurav Kadam for Sportskeeda signing off. Stay tuned for all the live sporting updates right here at Sportskeeda and catch all the live coverage from Bengaluru FC vs Delhi Dynamos. See you soon.
ATK are defeated in their first home match as FC Pune City play to their strengths and run away winners in grand fashion. Marcelino proved his worth as he grabbed a brace of goals as well as assists. ATK were reckless and their mistakes were pounced upon by the attacking duo of FCPC. Sheringham will expect better from his side in the next match as ATK will look to bounce back quickly as they have two tough away fixtures up next and Pune host Mumbai City FC in their next fixture.
93' - Pune are just playing the ball around as they run down the clock in wait for the final whistle as they are all set for their first points this season.
85' - CHANCE!! Rupert Nongrum latches onto a cross from the right but his effort goes just wide onto the side-netting as ATK continue their quest to close down the gap.
79' - It's FOUR!!! A sloppy throw-in is pounced on by Marcelino and he runs quickly and squares it for the rushing Alfaro who takes control of the pass and scores past the diving Debjit to take the lead to 3. Poor from ATK.
66' - Robin Singh takes a good long-range effort that was aimed at the bottom right corner but Kamaljit Singh dives to save it and deflect it wide to safety.
59' - GOOALL!!! Pune extend their lead as Marcelino grabs his second on the night. Marcelino gets on the end of a pass from Tebar and lets the shot loose that deflects off the ATK defense into the goal. Visitors two up now.
51' - PUNE Strike Back!! Rohit Kumar is not picked up by any defenders from the ATK side as he runs and nods a great delivery from Marcelino past the hapless Debjit in goal. What a turn of events in two minutes.
49' - ATK have equalized!!! Bipin Singh scores from a freekick as the 22-year curls the ball into the top corner with a stunning effort. The ball comes off the post after beating the diving Pune keeper. The crowd has gone wild here at the YBK Stadium in Kolkata.
We've reached the end of the first half as Pune go into the break with a one-goal advantage thanks to a goal by their star man Marcelino. ATK had a couple of chances and will be left ruing their missed opportunities. Hitesh Sharma looked impressive again today. Stay tuned to Sportskeeda Football for the live updates as we bring you the second half coverage in a few minutes.
41' - Pune City defense has learned from their poor performance against Delhi where they let in 3 goals. Today, they have been organized and have managed to keep ATK at bay so far in the match.
36' - A long freekick into the box gets bounced around a couple of times before falling to Hitesh Sharma who takes a volley but is unable to keep the ball down and it skies over for a goal-kick.
35' - Kuqi receives the ball in the box after a mistaken back-pass from Rohit Kumar but he has a difficult angle and the shot goes wayward not causing any trouble to Kamaljit Singh.
