Only 15 seconds after the game’s opening kickoff, NorthEast United FC’s Parthib created the first opportunity of the match. Before Pritam Kotal sent the ball out for a corner, the youthful striker was unable to get a good touch on the ball. Dimitri Petratos scored on the counterattack, but the goal was disallowed because the ATKMB striker wandered offside.
ATKMB managed to get through the NorthEast United FC defence five minutes past the halfway point. Hugo Boumous pounced on Parthib’s errant pass in the middle of the field, moved towards goal, and then found Colaco with a brilliantly timed through ball. The winger took aim at the far post and expertly finished it.
