HALF TIME!
ATK Mohun Bagan were always the favourites to clinch this contest, but this has been all too easy for the Mariners. The Kolkata-based side have been absolutely dominant and this has turned into a one-sided contest, thanks to a double strike from Joni Kauko and one from Manvir Singh.
Should be an easy wrap-up from here for ATKMB, while BSSC will have an uphill task in their hands when they come out post the break.

39' - GOALLLLL!
A handball inside the D by Blue Star and ATKMB have a penalty. Joni Kauko steps up to take it and nets it in towards the left bottom off the goalkeeper. Fernando had no chance there.
That's a brace already for Kauko!

35' - DOUBLE SAVE!
An excellent shot from Prabir Das and it's blocked by Fernando. The ball rebounds to David Williams, who takes the second attempt and it's deflected off again by the Blue Star defender.
Top stuff from the stopper!

Manvir Singh wins an aerial duel, controls the ball, runs into the D, and shoots it in. SOOOO EASYYYYYYY!

23' - JONI KAUKOOOOOOO!
A beautiful run and cross from the right flank inside the D. The Blue Star defence tries to hang on as it gets messy inside the box, the ball finally finds Joni Kauko and the Finnish star slots it in with ease.
Into the lead goes, ATK Mohun Bagan!

19' - Kiyan Nassiri MISSES!
A beautiful cross from Manvir from the right flank, but Kiyan Nassiri fails to get a touch. That would have been a tap in, if he had managed to collect it. BAD, BAD MISS!

12' - Arsh Anwer SAVES!
A dangerous run from P Boadu from the right flank and he shoots - blocked well by Arsh Anwer Shaikh. The debutant has helped ATK Mohun Bagan avert the danger.

10' - Wonderful start for ATK Mohun Bagan
The Mariners have had the majority of the possession in the first 10 minutes and they have been constantly on the charge. Multiple opportunities were created, though none have been converted until now.

4' - David Williams hit it straight to the keeper
A wonderful opportunity for David Williams, he is one on one with the Blue Star keeper and hits it straight to him. That should have been converted. Nevertheless a good start for ATK Mohun Bagan.
