Half-time report -- Neither ATK nor FC Goa could find the back of the net in the first half at the Sale Lake Stadium in Kolkata despite both the teams creating a number of chances.

 

FC Goa had the first real stab at goal when, in the seventh minute, after a great passage play, FC Goa managed to find Seriton Fernandes whose shot from inside right could only find the side-netting.

 

Six minutes later, it was ATK's chance to go for goal when Mourtada Fall got at the end of a cross at the far post where he was unmarked. Fall tried a diving downward header but failed to keep his effort on target.

 

ATK also went close in the 29th minute when Lanzarote slid a pass to Jayesh Rane who low-crossed the ball first time to Everton Santos in the middle. Santos got a toe to the delivery but Nawaz parried it away for a corner. Minutes later, Lanzarote himself nearly got ATK the opener when, after getting the ball on the inside right, he chested it down and hit it on the volley and the ball rolled across the face of the goal, inches away from the far post.

 

As the half-time neared, FC Goa had another good chance, in the 42nd minute to be precise, when Coro got the ball and got away from two defenders and once inside the box tried a left-footed shot into the bottom right corner but Arindam did well to not only keep the ball out but also hold onto it.
