Hyderabad FC vs ATK Mohun Bagan ISL 2022-23 Semi-final 1st Leg LIVE Updates and Score

That's all from our side tonight. Hope you enjoyed the coverage of an entertaining clash. This is Anantaajith signing off - see you all again very soon!

FULL-TIME: HYDERABAD FC 0-0 ATK MOHUN BAGAN!

The first leg of this ISL 2022-23 semifinal ends goalless. Both teams created some good chances, with Vishal Kaith and Gurmeet Singh making some excellent saves. They both also hit the woodwork, with Pritam Kotal finding the crossbar from virtually unmissable range, while Mohammad Yasir's long-range effort hit the base of the post.

The Nizams couldn't get substitute Bart Ogbeche into too many promising areas, which was largely the case with the Mariners' Dimitri Petratos as well. While the game could've easily had goals, a draw seemed to be a fair result given the defensive quality that was on display. ATK Mohun Bagan will be happy to have racked up seven shots on target from their 10 attempts while keeping Hyderabad down to just three shots on target from 14 attempts.

It means the tie will be decided in the second leg at the Salt Lake Stadium on March 13. Expect another tight encounter as has been the case when the two teams have met this season.

90+5' The ball is given away and Gallego feeds Petratos, who fires from distance, but it's at a decent height for Gurmeet, who saves it on the second attempt.

90+1' We are into five minutes of stoppage-time.

86' Final substitutions of the match for Hyderabad FC as Hitesh Sharma and Abdul Rabeeh replace Sahil Tavora and Mohammad Yasir.

83' Yasir whips a cross from the right towards the far-post, but Ogbeche, who does well to get to it, puts it wide of the post.

81' Liston once again attempting a shot from distance and it's on target, but once again, it's straight at Gurmeet, who saves easily.

73' Joao Victor and Rohit Danu come on for Joel Chianese and Halicharan Narzary for Hyderabad.

66' Substitutions for ATK Mohun Bagan now as Federico Gallego and Lalrinliana Hnamte replace Hugo Boumous and Lalthathanga Khawlhring.

63' Liston now tries his luck from distance but it's straight at Gurmeet, who saves comfortably.

61' ANOTHER GREAT SAVE FROM GURMEET!

A lapse in concentration from Akash allows Manvir in, he has Boumous and Petratos waiting in the middle, but chooses to take a low percentage shot at the near-post. Gurmeet does well to block it out with his chest.

60' First roll of the dice from Manolo Marquez as Bart Ogbeche replaces Javier Siverio for Hyderabad.

55' OFF THE POST!

A long ball forward is not dealt with by ATKMB and Siverio sets it back for Yasir outside the box. He fires a bullet towards goal that beats Vishal, but comes back off the base of the far-post.

52' SAVED BY GURMEET!

An error at the back allows Asish in and he takes a couple of touches before firing a shot across Gurmeet, but the keeper does well to palm it out before it's cleared away.

46' We're back underway in Gachibowli!

Half-time: 0-0

Hyderabad FC and ATK Mohun Bagan head into the interval level. The Nizams started the game very well and were the dominant force in the opening 30 minutes, with Vishal Kaith making a splendid save to deny Joel Chianese. However, the Mariners slowly grew into the contest and created the best opening of the half from a Dimitri Petratos free-kick that was headed across goal by Subhasish Bose, but Pritam Kotal could only hit the crossbar from point-blank range.

All to play for in the second half of this semifinal first-leg fixture!

45+2' Tavora now attempts a shot from distance, but it whistles wide of Vishal's far-post.

45+1' We're into two minutes of added time here in Gachibowli.

44' Petratos with a superb lob into the box for Boumous, but Sana gets his head on it to ward off the danger as we edge close to half-time.

38' DRAMA IN THE AREA AND OFF THE BAR BUT HYDERABAD SURVIVE!

Petratos' free-kick is headed across the goal-line by Subhasish with the goalkeeper in no man's land. Pritam attacks it with an empty goal at his mercy, but somehow knees it onto the crossbar. Manvir's cross is then blocked by Chianese before it's cleared.

Best chance of the game so far!

35' ACROBATIC FROM ODEI BUT IT FLIES OVER! A corner from Borja is punched by Vishal and comes to Halicharan on the opposite wing. He drives a grounded cross into the box, which takes a couple of ricochets and pops up in the air as Odei attempts a bicycle kick, but ends up putting it over the crossbar.

33' We've crossed the half-hour mark here and we've just seen a shot from ATK Mohun Bagan for the first time as Puitea guides a tame effort straight into Gurmeet's hands. Hyderabad haven't been too efficient themselves, however, getting just two of their seven attempts on target.

19' Over! Poojari does well down the right and finds Chianese in the box. The attacker finds Tavora, who lays it for Borja. The Spaniard's effort, however, flies well over the crossbar.

15' BRILLIANT TACKLE TO DENY CHIANESE! Yasir picks the ball up on the edge of the box after a miscued pass from ATK Mohun Bagan and slips Chianese in on the right, but Subhasish makes a vital sliding tackle to send it behind before the Aussie could reach the ball.

11' SUPERB SAVE! It is yet another crisp move from Hyderabad down the left and Akash lays it off for Halicharan, who delivers a measured cross into the area. Chianese attacks it and heads it towards the bottom corner, but Vishal does brilliantly to get down and palm it behind for a corner.

The resulting corner finds Siverio, but his header is straight at Vishal.

8' DEFLECTED BEHIND! Hyderabad execute a superb switch to Yasir, who cuts in past two ATK Mohun Bagan players before laying it off for Borja. He fires from distance, but Pritam gets in the way to block it behind for a corner.

7' Good move by Hyderabad! Borja, Halicharan and Akash are involved before the Spaniard finds Chianese. The forward takes it in his stride and beats a couple of defenders to get to the by-line, but his cutback is too close to Vishal Kaith, who collects it with ease.

3' First real foray forward of the match comes from ATK Mohun Bagan. Poojari misreads a pass to Colaco, who takes it well and backheels it to Boumous, but the midfielder's cross is cleared out.

1' WE'RE UNDERWAY!

Moments away from kick-off here...

So, Bart Ogbeche is only fit enough to make the bench for this match, which sees Javier Siverio handed a start once again. Hyderabad skipper Joao Victor and youngster Hitesh Sharma are also among the substitutes, with Sahil Tavora and Borja Herrera starting once again.

Meanwhile, Vishal Kaith, who suffered a horrific blow to the head and needed to be taken off midway through the playoff knockout tie against Odisha FC, is passed fit to start this match. Liston Colaco returns to the starting XI in place of Ashique Kuruniyan and will hope to repay Juan Ferrando's faith in him.

This is how line for the big semifinal first leg! Come on Mariners! 💚♥️#ATKMohunBagan #JoyMohunBagan #আমরাসবুজমেরুন pic.twitter.com/1ZAn1BEnTh

Less than an hour to go for kick-off, so let's take a quick look at the lineups for both teams!

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the ISL 2022-23 semi-final first-leg clash between Hyderabad FC and ATK Mohun Bagan. This is Anantaajith and I'll be taking you through the key events of this blockbuster encounter!

Hyderabad FC and ATK Mohun Bagan will clash horns in the first leg of the second ISL 2022-23 semifinal in Gachibowli on Thursday.

The Nizams, who finished in second place, just five points behind Mumbai City FC, in the standings, will be the oddsmakers' favorites to win this game given their excellent home record during the league stages. Manolo Marquez's side lost just two of their 10 home matches this term. However, they enter this contest after winning just two of their last five matches.

The Mariners, meanwhile, endured a topsy-turvy campaign but picked up some momentum towards the end of the league stages. Juan Ferrando's troops won their last two league games before beating Odisha FC 2-0 in the playoff knockout tie to make it into the semifinals. Their away record was decent as they won three, lost three and drew four of their 10 matches.
