ISL-5: ATK win it late against FC Pune City!

Former champions ATK scored a late 1-0 win over ISL-5 bottom side FC Pune City at the Saltlake Stadium on Saturday evening.

The home team put pressure on the guests from the start but they were denied and things evened out the longer the first half lasted which ended goalless.

ATK again had chances to go ahead at the start of the second session before FC Pune City had their chances.

The winner finally came in the 82nd minute when Gerson Vieira headed in a Jayesh Rane cross off a Manuel Lanzarote pass, which was enough for the Kolkata side to keep the three points at home.

FC Pune City next will host Jamshedpur FC on November 21, while ATK travel to face Mumbai City FC on November 24.
