Ratings: Subhasish Bose shines with late winner in ATK Mohun Bagan's win

The Mariners left it late to secure three points against the Highlanders.

ATK Mohun Bagan recorded a 2-1 win over NorthEast United in the 2022-23 Indian Super League at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, Kolkata on Thursday. Goals from Liston Colaco and Subhasish Bose were enough to cancel out the goal from Aaron Evans. The visitors gave a good account of themselves and almost went away with a point.

The odds were heavily in favour of ATK Mohun Bagan before the game began. Their squad had more stability and high-profile players than struggling NorthEast United which lost all of its previous games before tonight. Despite it all, the game was very competitive and it took a late goal to decide the winner.

There were many notable individual performances from ATKMB’s win over NEUFC. Here are the player ratings from the match:

ATK Mohun Bagan (By Waseem)

Vishal Kaith (GK) - 6.0

Vishal Kaith had the situation under control until the Highlanders equalised in the second half. The custodian did not help the defenders in marking the opposition players and left a lot of room on the right side which led to the headed goal. Apart from that, he made three saves to keep his team afloat.

Asish Rai - 6.5

Asish Rai was influential down the right wing for ATK Mohun Bagan. He made 63 touches on the ball, got a shot on target and created one scoring chance for the team. However, his marking for the NorthEast United equaliser could have been better after Aaron Evans was left unmarked on the right side.

Brendan Hamill - 6.5

Brendan Hamill was involved in quite a few duels and altercations during the game. He was unlucky to come away without a clean-sheet and also received a yellow card during the game. However, the centre-back had a 98% passing accuracy and made four clearances as well.

Pritam Kotal - 6.5

Pritam Kotal kept the ball rolling from the back and cleared his lines well. The defender had three clearances and completed 53 of his 58 passes. He also had two blocks in a good defensive performance.

Subhasish Bose - 9.0

Subhasish Bose was the saviour for ATK Mohun Bagan. The left-back scored a vital late goal for his side with a diving header into the bottom right corner. He had the most touches in the ATKMB lineup, finishing with 91 touches in the game.

Deepak Tangri - 6.0

Deepak Tangri was solid during the game, constantly finding himself in the thick of things. One of the key moments where he faltered was during NEUFC’s equaliser where the midfielder was not able to win the first ball from the corner.

Joni Kauko - 6.5

Joni Kauko had an eventful outing, to say the least. He picked up a yellow card for protesting and almost scored seconds later with a header. However, in the next moment, he was caught simulating for a penalty and luckily avoided a second yellow card.

Hugo Boumous - 8.0

The attacking midfielder was a constant source of threat and got the assist for Liston Colaco’s goal in the first half. In 74 minutes of football, Boumous had 62 touches on the ball and created two scoring chances for his team. 

Manvir Singh - 6.0

While Manvir Singh created three scoring chances for the team, he was not able to get on the scoresheet himself. The striker needs to identify spaces and put himself into areas where he can score for the team. He had two shots on goal and none were on target.

Liston Colaco - 7.5

Liston Colaco combined well with Hugo Boumous to score with a precise right-footed finish into the bottom left corner. The winger did struggle to keep his shots on target and could not add a second to his tally. A strong performance on the left wing nonetheless by the player.

Dimitri Petratos - 7.0

Dimitri Petratos was in the mood to create chances for his team tonight. He delivered a sensational left-footed cross for Bose from the right flank which led to the second goal for the Mariners. Having said that, the striker squandered two major scoring chances during the game.

Substitutes

Carl McHugh - 6.0

The midfielder came on in the second half to inject more energy into the midfield. He created one scoring chance and had 22 touches in 16 minutes of game time.

Lalrinliana Hnamte - N/A

Came on late and was not able to make an impact.

Ashique Kuruniyan - N/A

Kiyan Giri - N/A

He was used as a late substitute.

NorthEast United (By Yash Pratap Singh)

Mirshad Michu - 7.5

The keeper was decent throughout the game. He came off his line to make clearances and even denied Hugo Boumous from scoring a goal. He went on to make two brilliant saves late in the game, but couldn’t deny the Mariners another goal.

Joe Zoherliana - 6.5

Joe looked in fine form since the opening whistle. He went high up the pitch and combined well with Imran and Romain in ATK Mohun Bagan’s half. He worked his socks on either end of the pitch.

Aaron Evans - 7.5

Evans was solid defensively and marked his performance with a goal for his side. Evans jumped on the second ball and fired his header past Vishal to bring his side back on level terms.

Michael Jakobsen - 6.5

The skipper put up a strong performance before leaving the pitch after sustaining a knock. Jakobsen maintained a passing accuracy of 86% and stood tall at the back while making a tackle and clearance each in the process.

Gurjinder Singh - 6.6

The left-back put up a decent show. He completed majority of his passes and even executed three interceptions and tackles each alongside a blocked shot. 

Jon Gaztanaga - 7.0

The Spaniard was everywhere on the pitch for his side. He created a couple of crucial chances for his side and even provided the assist for Evans’ goal in the second half. He maintained a passing precision of 89%, made two tackles, clearances and blocks each.

Pragyan Gogoi - 6.5

Gogoi created a chance and was always in the mood to test the keeper everytime he had the ball. He completed 71% of his passes. Pragyan also made one tackle, interception and block each throughout his time on the pitch.

Emil Benny - 6.5

Benny made three interceptions and won the majority of his ground duels. He also executed a tackle and a block each while maintaining a passing accuracy of above 80%. All in all, he ran a lot during his time on the pitch and helped his team in every area.

Imran Khan - 7.5

Imran came into the starting lineup and changed the look of his side. He was an ever-present figure on the right flank and created many opportunities. The midfielder looked in fine touch and troubled ATK Mohun Bagan a lot with his trickery.

Parthib Gogoi - 7.0

Gogoi ran his socks off for his side. He created a chance and even had a shot on target saved by Vishal. Parthib looked in fine touch right from the start and was involved in the thick of things every now and then. He did everything good, but it was his mistake that helped the home team score a goal after he gave away the ball cheaply.

Romain Philippoteaux - 7.0

The Frenchman displayed his skills and trickery yet again and entertained the crowd. He made a bombing run forward in the first half, but just couldn’t put the final touch to it. He won the ball in the middle of the park twice and initiated attacking moves.

Substitutes

Mashoor Shereef - 6.0

He was caught ball-watching and his poor defending took the game away from NorthEast United. Mashoor made three interceptions and two blocks under pressure, but his mistake took the game away from his side.

Jithin MS - 6.5

Jithin sent a good ball into the box and tested Vishal who cleared it for a corner. The resulting corner helped NorthEast United score a goal.

Emanuel - 6.5

The young lad completed 82% of his passes and his never say die attitude was very fairly visible on the pitch. He fought for every ball and made a tackle and block in the process.

Matt Derbyshire - 6.0

The Englishman started from the bench today. He came on in the 65th minute to replace the skipper. Matt wasn’t involved much, but was active with his defensive duties and made a clearance in the process.

Rochharzela - NA

He came on late in the game and couldn’t make an impact.
