HALF-TIME: ATK MOHUN BAGAN 0-0 HYDERABAD FC
The referee blows the whistle indicating half time as Onaindia and ATKMB coach Antonio Habas are seen arguing on the sidelines. Things are sure to get murky in the second half if both teams don't move on from Prabir's dangerous challenge on Poojary. ATKMB dominated the chances in the first period as HFC keeper Subrata Paul responded brilliantly to save three shots on the goal and then foxed Bradden Inman at the end of the first half when the midfielder looked through to the goal. HFC did well going forward, but lacked the killer pass which could test Arindam Bhattacharja in the goal. Hyderabad is clearly missing the finishing edge of Aridane Santana, who is out of the tie.

23' Martins gives away the ball cheaply in the midfield as Colaco charges through the centre and is brought down by McHugh on the edge of the box. The referee awards a free kick immediately and warns McHugh.

8' Saved! Subrata Paul is called into making a proper save as Kotal's cross into the box is powered into the ground by Krishna's header. Paul guesses the bounce properly and palms it away for a corner which is dealt well by Hyderabad.
6' Halicharan goes on a mazy dribble and plays Hitesh in space on the right. The winger pulls the trigger but is blocked by Jhingan.

The Indian Super League (ISL 2020-21) will mark the return of major league competition in India after the nationwide lockdown to prevent the COVID-19 outbreak was first imposed in March.
The seventh edition of the ISL got underway inside a bio-bubble in Goa on November 20.
The tournament, spanning over four months, will see 11 teams play each other in a league and playoff format across three venues. Following SC East Bengal's inclusion, this season will feature 115 games, up from 95 last season.
MATCH PREVIEW:
“ATK Mohun Bagan FC is one of the top teams in the ISL and it is not going to be easy. Apart from quality in the foreign contingent, they have good Indian players but at the same time, we also have our plans for this game,” says Hyderabad FC assistant coach Thangboi Singto.
Speaking ahead of the clash tomorrow, Singto, who will be leading in the absence of Manolo Marquez who serves a one-game suspension, says that “on the night, it is going to be 11v11 and if we can give our best, focus on our strengths and play our own game, we can come out with a good result.”
“I think ATKMB has strong players all around the field. They have Roy Krishna up front and the back three is strong as ever. Krishna is someone who did well last season, but apart from him, they have players like Manvir and Williams, so it is not about having specific plans for each player but we have to be aware of their attacking threats from all angles,” the HFC assistant coach said.
However, the 46-year-old believes that this is the best chance for the rest of the squad to step-up with some of the key players injured.
“Joel isn’t far away but he is still unavailable. Aridane is also not available for the next match. The medical team, with all their knowledge and support, are doing what they can. In sports, this is an opportunity for other players to come up and say ‘Hey coach, you can count on me!’ and that is what we are hoping that the players are going to do,” he said.
