The effect of the arduous trip from Panjim to Kolkata looked evident on the visitors; the first 15 minutes saw ATK look more sprightly on the pitch than their opponents in an attempt to capitalize on the situation.

And they did - captain Robbie Keane scored in the fourth minute from a close-range header off of a Ryan Taylor free-kick. They could not kick on from there however and build on that as Goa managed to finally get into the game after the 20-minute mark.

Keane though had a very bright first half, popping up all across the front line and fashioning chances for his team. Zequinha had a chance to extend their lead, but his shot was aimed straight at the keeper when in a good shooting position. Keane also had another chance at Laxmikant Kattimani's near post which saw the keeper save the Irishman's effort.
