With the draw, the Stallions are yet to be beaten under new coach Phil Brown.

In a thrilling game at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex here in Balewadi, Pune City came from behind to halt ATK, as the game ended 2-2. Marko Stankovic’s deflected shot was the opening goal of the game, but the visitors equalised through a superb Jayesh Rane curler.

Steve Coppell’s side led the scoreline in the second half when Edu Garcia converted from the spot but it was Robin Singh, who scored his first goal of the season, canceling out the Spaniard’s strike.

Watch: FC Pune City 2-2 ATK highlights

Here are our ratings for the Indian players who featured in the game:

FC Pune City

Kamaljit Singh - 6.5

The 23-year-old looked pretty confident in the first half as he faced four shots on goal, out of which he managed to save three. However, he was unlucky that the one shot he couldn’t save ended up in the net.

Kamaljit conceded yet another goal in the 61st minute, when Garcia scored from the spot. The young custodian did a good job on the night otherwise, as he managed to take seven catches and make five saves overall.

Adil Khan - 6.5

Adil was as solid as usual in the midfield, as he managed to keep a dangerous-looking ATK midfield at bay. It was a good game for the veteran midfielder, as he maintained a 80% pass accuracy and also performed seven tackles in the process. He was subbed off in the 87th minute for Rohit Kumar.

Sarthak Golui - 5.0

Received an early yellow card for a bookable offence in the 21st minute. It wasn’t a very good performance by Sarthak, as he was eventually substituted off in the 64th minute to make way for Nim Dorjee Tamang.

Ashique Kuruniyan - 6.0

It wasn’t the best of his performances, as Ashique was absent for most of the first half and even for a certain time in the second. The youngster did not produce a single shot and his passing wasn’t accurate either.

After Pune equalised in the second half, the winger wasted a good counter-attacking opportunity by gifting the ball to the opposition. Ashique certainly needs to get back to his best.

Sahil Panwar - 6.0

Watch: Panwar put in five clearances in the match

Almost conceded a goal in the 26th minute when he attempted a block. Sahil received a yellow card in the 67th minute for a sloppy foul on Pronay Halder.

It was a quite convincing performance by the youngster, who managed to make five clearances, two tackles and a couple of blocks.

Robin Singh - 7.5

Earned an assist when his deliciously served ball was struck by Stankovic, which deflected off a defender and went straight into goal. The veteran striker was in good form, as he scored his first goal for Pune in the 76th minute, which turned out to be the Stallions’ equaliser. Robin superbly headed the ball in from a Marcelinho corner.

Substitutes

Nim Dorjee Tamang- 6.0

Came in to replace Sarthak in the 64th minute and performed a couple of tackles and clearances, also maintaining a 78% passing accuracy.

Rohit Kumar- NA

Came in late to replace Adil, but couldn’t help make an impact on the game.

ATK

Arindam Bhattacharya - 7.5

The ATK custodian was good throughout the match

The 29-year-old is in great form and apart from the deflected goal he conceded in the 17th minute, he was pretty solid under the bar. Arindam saved three shots brilliantly and also plucked four catches.

Pritam Kotal - 6.0

The right-back wasn’t too impressive, but he performed five tackles as many clearances, and four blocks. Kotal certainly has the ability to do better.

Arnab Mondal - 6.0

The centre-back performed 11 clearances overall and also made a couple of blocks. Otherwise, it was a pretty quiet night for Arnab.

Ricky Lallawmawma - 6.5

Faced a tough task to defend against the pace of Diego Carlos and strength of Robin Singh and he did both fairly well. Ricky did a fair job by keeping away the duo for most of the game and the two goals his team conceded were just unfortunate.

Pronay Halder - 6.0

Started the game with a sloppy tackle on Marcelinho, leading to a free-kick near the box. Otherwise, he was pretty strong in the first half and even managed to get a shot on target.

It wasn’t the best game by Halder, as he can certainly do better than he did against the Stallions. He, unfortunately, picked up an injury and was subbed off in the 73rd minute to make way for Eugeneson Lyngdoh.

Jayesh Rane - 7.5

Pulled off the equalizer in the 24th minute in probably the best possible way. Rane’s superb curling shot from inside the box hit the back of the net, leaving Kamaljit helpless. Jayesh also maintained a 70% passing accuracy. One of the decent performances by the 25-year-old.

Substitutes

Eugeneson Lyngdoh - 6.0

Came on in the 73rd minute to replace Halder but to his misfortune, ATK conceded a goal three minutes later. He put in a good cross for Jayesh in the 80th minute, but unfortunately the striker couldn’t convert it.
