#3 Goa continue from where they left off as Coro hits the double
ATK massively struggled in the wider areas of the pitch, as their full-backs were often done for good, beaten by some exquisite dribbling and at times, seen way out of position. Moreover, they were far off the pace when it came to midfield.
The same continued in the second half, as Goa enjoyed loads of space to run at in the middle thirds of the pitch. It was almost as if ATK were begging the hosts to run the midfield and narrow down their back line to a larger extent with every single passage of play.
On the back of a few sublime passes that were initiated by Coro, Mandar fired one in at Arindam, who scuffed the ball. When the shot was struck, Edu Bedia was offside, but Coro, who was next to the Spaniard, remained on. And without any fuss from three yards out with just a man to beat, the sharpshooter doubled Goa’s advantage and most importantly, knocked the stuffing out of ATK.
He then scored a penalty in the 81st minute, planting the ball into the left bottom corner, where he was never, ever in doubt.
