With three points being their only aim before taking the field, ATK wanted to dominate the home side from the very first minute.

They did that, even though conceding a goal, they never looked frightened to their opponents. An equaliser was about to come and thanks to the superb strike from Jayesh Rane, ATK made it all square.

ATK was playing with a purpose in the first half. They were creating chances with the short passes and Edu Garcia and Manuel Lanzarote was making all the hard work in the middle. Garcia hit the woodwork in the 11th minute to send a warning to Pune.

ATK should have shown the same approach in the second half as well. Instead, they concentrated more on attacking left the defence open.

Robin was left unmarked when he scored the goal and that summed up the misery that ATK endured later in the game.
