The Portuguese winger played a big part in ATK ending their winless run by providing a pin point cross for Robin Singh to slot home against Mumbai City FC. The 30-year old was a threat all evening with his pace, trickery and dangerous crosses. He also came close on a couple of occasions but couldn’t apply the required finish to find the back of the net.

Zequinha has been one of the most effective players for ATK in ISL 2017/18. He has created the maximium chances and has also attempted 10 shots so far, joint most with Njazi Kuqi. ATK will hope Zequinha continues his fine form as they aim to reach their 4th consecutive ISL semi-final.
