Super Cup 2018: ATK vs Chennai City FC, 5 Talking Points

#2 Robbie Keane forced to fall deep in play-maker role

Robbie Keane's efforts paid off when he found ATK's final goal

ATK's star man began today's match alongside the towering Robin Singh in what initially looked like an extremely potent front two. But as the game progressed, Keane kept falling back as he cut a frustrating figure inside the opposition box.

Chennai City decided to sit deep and let ATK attack them after the initial fifteen minutes. As a result, Keane was man-marked by not one but two men. Now 37-years-old, there was no way he was going to outrun his markers and play off their shoulders.

In an attempt to get on the ball more, he decided to position himself near the halfway line and orchestrated his teams attack. He combined well with Hitesh Sharma and eventually found ATK's fourth and final goal of the game.
