After NEU defended their one-goal lead for 85 minutes, they fell to a far post tap in from Hume in the 90^th minute. For almost the entire game, it looked like NorthEast was sure to leave behind last place to FC Goa while ATK looked like they were about to land themselves in a bit of trouble.

Unfortunately for the visitors, ATK had a goal in them after all.

Atletico de Kolkata salvaged their night only marginally as they remained in fourth place but moved closer to the top three with one point. With four games left for either side, it’s anyone’s guess which of them will find themselves in the playoffs.
