Ratings: Fares, Anwar help FC Goa keep ATK Mohun Bagan at bay
FC Goa defeated ISL champions ATK Mohun Bagan by a solitary goal in their last game of the season.
With Jamshedpur FC already qualified from the group, the match between ATK Mohun Bagan and FC Goa was only a formality. This was clearly seen in the approach of both teams who definitely lacked the hunger to go for a win. Hence, in a lacklustre game, a solitary goal by Fares Arnout from a goalkeeping error from Vishal Kaith meant that the Gaurs gave a winning farewell to their outgoing boss Carlos Pena.
Against such a backdrop, let us see how the players of both teams performed in the match.
