It was then their captain Pritam Kotal who sealed it in the penalty shootout after Hamil missed his attempt. Credit should be given to ATK Mohun Bagan goalkeeper Vishal Kaith for thwarting Javier Siverio’s attempt.

Dimitri Petratos, Federico Gallego and Manvir Singh were the other scorers for the green-and-maroon brigade. HFC also squandered another opportunity when Bartholomew Ogbeche’s shot hit the post and the two missed chances proved costly. For the Nizams, the missed chances of Siverio and Ogbenche proved costly as the strikes by Joao Victor, Danu and Reagan were not enough.
