Ratings: Liston struggles as ATK Mohun Bagan Hyderabad FC, draw

The point saw the Nizams climb to the top of the table.

ATK Mohun Bagan failed to go to the top of the Indian Super League (ISL) table as they played out a thrilling 2-2 draw against Hyderabad FC on Wednesday. The Mariners took the lead 12 seconds into the game, when David Williams scored an ambitious long-ranger to net the fastest goal in ISL history.

Hyderabad bounced back strongly and were gifted an equalizer in the 18th minute, when Amrinder Singh spilled a cross and allowed Bartholomew Ogbeche to score into an open net. After a lot of back-and-forth, the Mariners re-took the lead in the 64th minute, when Joni Kauko’s header was deflected into the net by Asish Rai for an own-goal.

Just as it looked like ATKMB would get the win, super-sub Javier Siverio scored a header in added-time to snatch the point for his side and guide HFC to the top of the ISL table! Here are the player ratings for the game.

ATK Mohun Bagan (By Uttiyo Sarkar)

Amrinder Singh- 4.0

Amrinder’s nightmare in goal continues. Gave away the equalizer to Ogbeche by botching a simple aerial grab and nearly gifted another one by passing the ball straight to him just outside the box. Made some nice saves, but was unable to react quickly enough for the second goal.

Prabir Das- 6.0

Not really that impactful going forward, but did his defensive duties well enough to nullify the attacking chances down his wing.

Pritam Kotal- 7.0

Covered the highest distance for ATKMB and was extremely assertive at the back. Made eight interceptions and six clearances in a rock-solid defensive effort to keep Ogbeche & Co. quiet.

Tiri- 5.0

Troubled by Ogbeche initially, but recovered from a shaky start decently. But, then lost his head towards the end, losing the aerial battle with Siverio and allowing him to score the equalizer that robbed ATKMB of a win.  

Ashutosh Mehta- 6.5

Looked composed on both sides of the pitch, working hard defensively to make four blocks and two interceptions. Quite inviting going forward, creating some nice chances with his looping crosses.

Carl McHugh- N/A

Shielded his backline strongly in the first half before suffering a nasty head injury and being forced to go off in an ambulance.

Deepak Tangri- 6.0

The ATK Mohun Bagan youngster was quite proactive in midfield again, being disciplined with his closing down of Hyderabad FC attacks. Made three interceptions and moved the ball forward well before being taken off at half-time.

Hugo Boumous- 6.5

The ATKMB star played a cute back-flick to setup the opener. Moved around well in the attacking areas and created some prominent chances for his teammates, but was unable to get a shot on goal.

Manvir Singh- 5.0

Worked hard and really troubled Akash Mishra with his movement down the wing. His final product is still not good enough.

Liston Colaco- 4.0

Liston struggled against his former teammates, not being able to threaten much with his movement. Unable to create anything and scuffed a big scoring chance in the second half.

David Williams- 8.0

Justified his first start of the season by scoring the quickest goal in ISL history, swerving a shot past the goalkeeper in the 12th minute.

Very encouraging with his movement and link-up play. Created four scoring chances and setup the goal with some clever movement, before squaring a perfect cross for Kauko to head towards goal.

Substitutes

Joni Kauko- 6.5

Thought he had scored his first ISL goal, but his header deflected off Rai for ATKMB’s second. Industrious and creative in midfield in the second half.

Lenny Rodrigues- 6.0

Quite proactive in the second half, but was unable to help his side see out a late win.

Roy Krishna- N/A

Got in some promising areas inside the box, but was unable to get close to scoring ATKMB’s third goal.          

Subhasish Bose- N/A

Unable to make any real impact in a short cameo.

Hyderabad FC (By JN Balraj)

Laxmikant Kattimani- 5.0

The Hyderabad FC custodian had an underwhelming night against ATK Mohun Bagan and failed to make any save or punch.

Asish Rai- 7.0

A good game offensively. Played five direct balls with a brilliant cross and had 22 passes to his name. A less brighter outing defensively and will look to improve.

Chinglensana Singh- 6.5

Partnered well with Juanan. Also made some good defensive contributions, but can improve in aerial duels.

Juanan Gonzalez- 7.0

Played for the full 90 minutes, won three of his duels. Made a clearance and one block, with three interceptions.

Akash Mishra- 6.5

Akash got the assist for Siverio's injury-time equalizer. He was good defensively with four clearances and three interceptions.

Hitesh Sharma- 6.5

Worked well in the double pivot with Joao Victor. Lad was impressive with his passing, registered 20 passes with 71% accuracy and played two accurate long balls.

Joao Victor- 6.5

Not very effective but did enough to keep Hugo Boumous at bay during most of the game, made 34 passes with four clearances and three interceptions.

Nikhil Poojari- 6.0

Nikhil was missing in most parts of the game, making 12 passes with mere 32 touches on the ball.

Edu Garcia- 7.0

The playmaker created a major chance and won three ground duels. Was not at his best, but still participated well in attack and was a constant threat before being subbed off at the hour mark

Aniket Jadhav- 6.5

The "Kolhapur Express" was fiery in attack, with two successful dribbles and key passes to his name. He needs to improve his link-up play though.

Bartholomew Ogbeche- 7.0

The Nigerian was posing threats on Amrinder's goal and eventually got his side back, but seemed to be out of touch after that, managing to get only two shots on target.

Substitutes

Joel Chianese- 6.5

Chianese completed two dribbles and made one key pass with two crosses.

Sahil Tavora- 6.5

Sahil provided stability in the midfield with his 16 passes and off the ball movement. He also won all his ground duels.

Seityasen Singh- 5.5

The Kerala Blasters loanee failed to impress in the limited minutes he got under his belt.

Rohit Danu- 6.0

The youngster was brought in for the last 20 minutes and was good with his positioning, but didn't make any direct impact.

Javier Siverio- 7.5

The Spanish striker was the saviour for the Nizams. Scored the equalizer in injury-time to salvage a point for his side.
