Hyderabad FC 3-1 ATK Mohun Bagan: Player Ratings as Nizams come from behind to record win | ISL Playoffs 2021-22
Hyderabad FC came from behind to register a 3-1 win against ATK Mohun Bagan in the first leg of their ISL 2021-22 semi-final.
Roy Krishna put the Mariners ahead from Liston Colaco's cross midway through the first half. The Nizams, who created close to nothing significant, somehow got themselves level through a well-placed Bartholomew Ogbeche header in stoppage-time.
The goal right before the break gave Hyderabad FC added impetus as they started the second half well. A defensive mix-up from ATK Mohun Bagan allowed Mohammad Yasir to bend a finish into the back of the net. Yasir then turned provider with a pinpoint corner that was converted by Javier Siverio six minutes later.
The win gives the Nizams a two-goal cushion heading into the second leg on March 16.
Here are the player ratings from the game:
Hyderabad FC
Laxmikant Kattimani - 7/10
Kattimani made four big saves to keep ATK Mohun Bagan at bay but could do nothing about their goal.
Akash Mishra - 6.5/10
Mishra didn't have a great first half, which was largely defined by his failure to mark Krishna for ATK Mohun Bagan's goal. But he put up an improved defensive display in the second half. He made four interceptions, four clearances, and two tackles while also winning four duels and completing 87% of his passes.
Juan Fernandez - 7/10
In addition to putting in a good shift defensively, Juanan also got the assist for Ogbeche's goal with a smart chipped cross from a corner.
Chinglensana Singh - 6.5/10
Chinglensana Singh made a game-high six clearances and helped Hyderabad FC weather the late storm as ATK Mohun Bagan pushed forward.
Nim Dorjee Tamang - 6.5/10
Tamang initially struggled against Colaco's dribbling and movement and let him in a little too easily for the Mariners' goal. However, he recovered well from that and was particularly good while defending counterattacks by closing down passing lanes.
Joao Victor - 6.5/10
Victor was quietly efficient in defensive midfield and sprayed the ball around well. He also won two duels and made a tackle.
Souvik Chakraborty - 6.5/10
Chakraborty was given more license to move forward with Victor sitting deep. While he sent a couple of decent balls into the final third, most of his contributions were still in defensive areas. He managed a tackle, a block and an interception.
Aniket Jadhav - 6/10
Jadhav contributed very little for Hyderabad FC in the first half but grew into the game after his side's second goal.
Javier Siverio - 7/10
Siverio was involved in his side's second goal and then scored with an excellent header from a corner to make it 3-1. He also made a couple of good runs in behind the ATK Mohun Bagan defense.
Mohammad Yasir - 8/10
Yasir was yet another Hyderabad FC player who didn't enjoy a very good first half. However, he took his goal brilliantly with a first-time left-footed finish that nestled into the bottom corner. He also sent in a good corner for Siverio to extend the Nizams' lead.
Bartholomew Ogbeche - 7.5/10
Ogbeche's goal proved to be crucial in the grand scheme of things as his stoppage-time header in the first half set the wheels in motion for his side. He worked extremely hard, recording one key pass, winning three fouls and making an interception.
Substitutes
Halicharan Narzary - 6/10
Narzary replaced Jadhav in the 79th minute. He had just six touches of the ball with Hyderabad FC on the backfoot.
Sahil Tavora - 6/10
Tavora came on for Chakraborty in the 79th minute. He made a clearance and a crucial block to help his side see out the win.
Khassa Camara - 6/10
Camara replaced Siverio in the 83rd minute. He added more physicality to the midfield with ATK Mohun Bagan in the ascendancy.
Aaren D'Silva - N/A
D'Silva came on for Yasir in the 90th minute and delivered one weak cross from a promising position.
