ATK Mohun Bagan became the third team to seal their spot in the ISL playoffs with a 1-0 victory against Chennaiyin FC earlier tonight.

A first half that didn't see many chances ended with the Mariners scoring right on the stroke of half-time. Joni Kauko put Roy Krishna through and he finished the chance well to put his side ahead.

The Marina Machans did well to claw their way back into the game but couldn't find the leveler as ATK Mohun Bagan did well to hold on.

On that note, here are the player ratings from the match:

Chennaiyin FC

Samik Mitra - 5.5/10

He had a couple of moments where he misjudged the pace and height of the ball and should've done better with the ATK Mohun Bagan goal.

Jerry Lalrinzuala - 6.5/10

Lalrinzuala did well to keep Colaco quiet for most of the night. The left-back also showed shades of his old self, including an incredible run and cross that just evaded Nerijus Valskis.

Salam Ranjan Singh - 6.5/10

Ranjan Singh put in a decent shift on the night, making two clearances, three interceptions and two tackles at the heart of the Chennaiyin FC defense. He also won both of his ground duels and completed 95% of his passes.

Slavko Damjanovic - 6/10

Damjanovic was caught out of position for ATK Mohun Bagan's goal but was decent otherwise. He made a couple of vital interventions to win the ball in dangerous positions.

Reagan Singh - 6.5/10

Reagan Singh was one of Chennaiyin FC's biggest threats going forward and even hit the post with a deflected effort. He recorded two key passes and also put in a shift defensively, making three tackles and a clearance.

63’ POST! Reagan unleashes a shot from distance, which takes a deflection and beats Amrinder, but the woodwork denies us a goal.

Germanpreet Singh - 6/10

Germanpreet Singh did a decent job sitting in front of the defense in what was one of his better displays of the campaign. He recorded a tackle and an interception while also creating one big chance for his ISL team.

Rahim Ali - 6/10

It was an encouraging performance from Ali, who constantly looked to take on the ATK Mohun Bagan defenders and even managed a key pass. However, he couldn't get a shot on target and his decision-making in the final third still requires fine-tuning.

23’ CHANCE! Rahim cuts in from the left, and looks to curl one in at the far post, but just misses the target.

Vladimir Koman - 7/10

Koman proved why he's viewed by many as one of Chennaiyin FC's biggest positives from a dismal campaign. He pinged the ball around extremely well, laying out two key passes and three long balls. The midfielder also had two shots on target and most of his side's moves stemmed from him.

Edwin Vanspaul - 6.5/10

Vanspaul put in a decent shift in defense and was enterprising in attack, sending in four key passes for his teammates.

Jobby Justin - 6/10

Justin worked hard but ultimately struggled to trouble the ATK Mohun Bagan defense.

Nerijus Valskis - 6/10

While he couldn't score a goal once again, Valskis looked much sharper in this match. He had two shots on target and also won six of his 11 aerial duels, while getting into some excellent positions upfront.

57’ CHANCE! Valskis receives a cross near the penalty spot, but loses his footing at a key moment, after jostling for the ball with Jhingan.
