ISL 2017, Match 13: Jamshedpur FC vs ATK, Player Ratings
Jamshedpur FC and ATK are yet to win a game in ISL 2017. While Jamshedpur drew their first two away games, ATK had suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of FC Pune City in their previous game in Kolkata. It was a must-win game for ATK, to prove their intentions this season. Injury was a major concern for ATK coach Teddy Sheringham before the match, and that situation did not get any better with Eugeneson Lyngdoh limping off after suffering an injury.
Both the teams started strongly in the game but failed to score goals. Jerry and Belfort constantly tested the ATK attack but failed to find the goal with some poor finishing. ATK keeper Jussi Jääskeläinen had a good game with a couple of good saves, as the defending champions got their second clean sheet in three matches. However, they were mostly quiet in attack.
On that note, let's take a look at how the players fared in this game:
Jamshedpur FC
Subrata Paul 8 - He may not have had a lot to do during the game, but Subrata Pal showed great alertness to prevent his side from conceding the goal. He made a brilliant same after Robin Singh got a touch towards goal from a brilliant aerial through ball from Prabir Das.
