#3 Atletico were guilty of squandering goal scoring chances
Trending
Juan Belencoso had a number of opportunities to find the back of the net but he failed miserably. Excellent wingplay from Abinash Ruidas, Keegan Perreira and Bidyananda Singh fed the striker with a number of goal scoring opportunities. But the Spaniard failed to finish from close range and shot wide when faced with open goals.
From a save by Pune custodian Arindam Bhattacharya, the ball had fallen to the feet of Belencoso. A simple tap in would have sent the ball rolling into the net. But an erroneous touch took the ball outside the post. He was left to rue wasted opportunities as he picked himself up after each of those chances.
It was a shoddy performance from the striker and he would not want to see those misses again. Atletico should have won the match comfortably by a 2 or a 3-goal margin. Instead, it was a dismal draw, marking the worst ever home performance from the 2014 champions.
