Stumble of Atlético de Kolkata
Our team could not add points in their visit to Northeast United FC and were defeated by the minimum with goal by Vélez in the final stretch of the match.
Atlético de Kolkata has suffered its second consecutive defeat after losing by the minimum against Northeast United (1-0). A goal by Vélez in the final stretch tipped the scales in favour of the locals.
Our guys tried hard during the first half, but the ball refused to go in the net. At the half time, the scoreboard reflected the initial 0-0 result. After resuming the game, Kolkata could have scored with a play from Javi Lara, but it would be the locals in the 77th minute the ones to score the 1-0. Vélez took advantage of a clearance in the box to cross the ball past the woodwork of our goalkeeper. A goal that was definitive for the three points to go to Norheast United.
With this defeat, the players of Antonio López Habas ended the round with seven points after two wins and a draw.
