Talking Points: ATK Vs Bengaluru FC; As Hard Fought Match Ends In 2-2 Draw

The match between ATK and Bengaluru FC has ended with a 2-2 scoreline at Kanteerava Stadium. This has been the last League stage game for both sides. ATK have finished the League at the second position with 34 points in 18 matches. On the other hand, Bengaluru FC have finished their League campaign with 30 points from the same number of matches. Here are the talking points of the match :

1. Bengaluru Expose ATK Defense In The First Half:

Carlos Cuadrat’s side has played really well in the first half of the match. They have been the dominant side throughout the first half. They have created a lot of opportunities. The crowd have been phenomenal at Kanteerava Stadium. Bengaluru’s dominance in the first half has been depicted with two goals. Dimas Delgado has scored from a brilliant set-piece movement at the 18th minute of the match. Frater has doubled the lead for the home side at the 35th minute. The home side has ended the first half with a scoreline of 2-0 in their favour.

2. Goal-keeping Issue Might Haunt ATK In The Playoffs:

Arindam Bhattacharya has been under the bars for ATK throughout the whole season. However, his mistakes against Chennaiyin FC have proved to be crucial for ATK. ATK were defeated by Chennaiyin FC in that match and the hopes of finishing the League stage at the top of the table have been ended there. The spot of AFC Champions League would now be awarded to FC Goa who have finished at the top of the table after the end of League stage this season. Arindam Bhattacharya has been dropped to the bench in the last match against Bengaluru FC.

The young goalkeeper Dheeraj Moirangtem has been given the chance to prove his worth in this last League game. However, Dheeraj has also failed to earn the trust of his manager. Bengaluru FC have only 5 shots on target and out of them, they have scored in two occasions.

3. ATK’s Comeback Hero Edu Garcia:

Edu Garcia came on as the substitute in this match against Bengaluru FC. Previously also, Edu Garcia had changed the course of the match in favour of ATK several times. In the 86th minute of the match, he produced a delightful combination of play, linking up with Roy Krishna and David Williams. He has netted the ball perfectly from a difficult angle. ATK have completed the comeback with a deflected shot of Michael Soosairaj.

4. The Result Will Boost ATK In The Semifinal:

ATK have been trying to go with their counter-attacking approach throughout the whole season. They have been successful most of the times despite some occasions. After the utter domination shown by Bengaluru FC in the first half, ATK have come back into the game in the second half. Bengaluru FC’s management will certainly be moaning for dropping two points from this encounter. On the other hand, ATK will be delighted to get one point. ATK will face Bengaluru FC in the Semifinal and they will certainly be confident ahead of the tie after this result.
