KOLKATA, Dec 29: ATK Mohun Bagan avenged their 3-0 loss to FC Goa earlier this season with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over the Gaurs in the Hero Indian Super League (ISL) at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, here on Wednesday.
Dimitri Petratos scored his fifth goal of the season inside ten minutes before Anwar Ali cancelled it out in the 25th minute. Hugo Boumous scored what turned out to be the winning goal for the Mariners in the 52nd minute.
After the opening goal, the Mariners piled the pressure and pushed FC Goa into their own half.
A couple of chances to increase their advantage went awry and they were made to pay for for it moments later when Ali got the faintest of touches on an Edu Bedia free kick to put the ball through the legs of Vishal Kaith and into the back of the net in the 25th minute.
The Mariners started the second half exactly the way they started the first.
Seven minutes after the break, ATK Mohun Bagan retook the lead courtesy of Boumous. The win takes ATK Mohun Bagan back into third, two points behind Hyderabad FC. The Mariners will get a break during the next Matchweek and will be back in action on January 14, Saturday against Mumbai City FC.
FC Goa remain fifth and could drop to sixth if Odisha FC win their game this Matchweek. The Gaurs will return home to host Hyderabad FC on January 5. (IANS)
