AFC Cup 2021: ATK Mohun Bagan defeated Maziya 3-1 to go top of Group D

ATK Mohun Bagan moved top of the table after coming from behind to defeat hosts Maziya Sports & Recreation 3-1 in their Group D tie

The Maldivian Champions led 1-0 at half-time thanks to a strike by Aisam Ibrahim (24′) from a counter-attack.

However, Antonio Habas’ men turned the table in the second half with Liston Colaco’s (47′) equaliser followed by Roy Krishna (63′) putting his side into the lead and Manvir Singh bagging the insurance goal in the 76th minute.

Meanwhile, Bengaluru FC crashed out of the AFC Cup 2021 group stage after managing a goalless draw in their second game of the group against Bangladesh giants Bashundhara Kings.

The Mariners have reclaimed the top spot in the group as they now have six points from two games.

Bashundhara Kings are second with four points, after the Bangladesh Premier League champions followed up a 2-0 win over Maziya with a goalless draw against Bengaluru FC

As only one team from Group D can progress to the next round where they will face the winner of the Central Asia Zonal final, the Kolkata giants now only need to avoid a defeat against Bashundhara Kings in the final group game on Tuesday.
