That's ATK's record versus Pune City this season which, continues a trend of Pune City being a bogey team for ATK in this league. The Kolkata side has only beaten the Stallions once, losing every other game.

Sheringham, ahead of the game had said he was "looking to make amends" for the heavy 1-4 defeat in Kolkata earlier this season. On the pitch though, none of that resolve was visible as ATK seemed to have no clear-cut plan on how to stop Pune City.

They played without a proper striker until Robin Singh was introduced in the second half. Defensively, they tried to keep a compact shape, but allowed Pune too much time on the ball. Any chance they had to score came from s

et-pieces as they didn't pose much of a threat.

This game was comfortable for Pune, something Sheringham and ATK won't be happy about when they go back home.
