ATK vs Odisha FC Ratings: Versatile Jayesh Rane stars for hosts

The 26-year-old managed to get an assist against the new entrants of the league on Saturday night.

ATK continued their winning spree, as the Kolkata outfit defeated Odisha FC at home and climbed above FC Goa to the top of the table yet again. With this win, Antonio Habas's men have also sealed their place in the playoffs.

A stunning hat-trick from talisman Roy Krishna was enough on the night for the hosts, as Odisha could only manage a consolation goal through Manuel Onwu.

Here's how the Indian players performed in the match:

ATK

Arindam Bhattacharya- 6.5

The ATK custodian, like on most days, did not have much to do throughout the game. He kept out Xisco Hernandez from close in, but wasn't much at fault for the goal which Onwu scored.

Pritam Kotal- 6.5

Apart from the goal which ATK conceded, Kotal had a flawless performance. He showed his leadership skills and was very vocal about the positioning of other defenders, especially in Agus Garcia's absence. He showed great distribution skills with 81% passing accuracy.

Sumit Rathi- 7.0

Another great game for the youngster, as he maintained the defensive organization at the back and kept Jerry under control on the right flank. He came up with three interceptions and had a tidy passing accuracy of 70%.

Prabir Das- 7.0

Among the Indian players, Prabir Das has to be the most consistent player for ATK. He has been a revelation for the side, as his tireless attitude and energy adds a lot of bite to Antonio Habas' team on both fronts.

Jayesh Rane- 7.5

The forward has shifted to a deeper role seamlessly. He paired up with Prabir yet again and the duo kept threatening the Odisha defence with their stark understanding and combination play. He notched up an assist before Pronay Halder replaced him.

Michael Soosairaj- 6.5

Not his best performance this season, but he was tireless with his approach and helped Sumit Rathi by tracking back and nullifying Odisha's wing play.

Substitutions

Pronay Halder- 6.0

The India international returned to action after a long injury layoff and replaced Jayesh Rane in the middle of the park, as Habas wanted to add more steel with the hosts already having the lead. He did a decent job in recycling possession and covering the backline.

Odisha FC

Shubham Sarangi- 6.5

The youngster was the shining light for the visitors, as he created three chances and provided the assist for Onwu. Sarangi lost the ball at times, but he kept driving forward.

Gaurav Bora- 6,5

The youngster struggled to contain Roy Krishna and there was clearly no communication with his partner Carlos Delgado at the heart of the backline. Apart from 11 clearances and 92% passing accuracy, there is not much positive to take from this game.

Narayan Das- 5.0

The defender had a busy first half where he struggled to contain Prabir Das and Jayesh Rane. He was caught out of position and was forced to make some reckless challenges. He also left Krishna unmarked from which the Fijian scored the opening goal.

Vinit Rai-5.5

Not his best night this season, as he was completed dominated by the likes of Mandi Sosa and Rane. He recycled possession well, but the extra man in ATK's midfield made all the difference. Rai could only come up with two clearances.

Jerry Mawihmingthanga- 5.5

Not his best performance this season, as young Jerry lost possession in crucial areas. He tried to combine with Xisco and create openings, but in vain. He did not have much attacking impact throughout the match.

Nandhakumar Sekar- 6.0

The winger had an off day at the office. However, he created one golden opportunity for Xisco which the Spaniard couldn't finish. Other than that, he was kept at bay by both Prabir and Kotal on the left flank.

Substitutions

Arshdeep Singh- 6.0

The Indian goalkeeper replaced Dorronsoro, as Gombau wanted to bring on Perez Guedes in midfield. Arshdeep wasn't tested much, but he kept it tidy with his distribution and also came up with a good save to deny David Williams.

Daniel Lalhlimpuia- 5.0

He did not have much impact in the game and Odisha failed to create chances.
