Manvir helps ATK MB pull level with Hyderabad
The Hindu
His brace seals a 2-0 win against Goa
ATK Mohun Bagan scored twice and missed many more before registering a 2-0 win over FC Goa in a second phase match of ISL-8 at Bambolim on Tuesday. Manvir Singh scored both goals, once in each half, to help ATK MB pull level with leader Hyderabad FC (29 points). The Mariners, who have played a match less, are second on goal average.
In the third minute, Manvir found the target with a glancing header off a curling corner from Liston Colaco. The Kolkata side, however, turned defensive as it was missing its injured star strikers, Roy Krishna and Hugo Boumous.
A shoddy session of play, marked by mispasses and lack of coordination among the ATK MB defenders, provided Goa an opportunity to get back into the game.
