Prabir Das gets a lovely ball down the right flank and he gets into the vacant space and puts in a pin-point cross to Hugo Boumous who gets inside the box to collect his cross.

HFC get a corner and Yasir Mohammad whips the ball in. Aniket Jadhav there is left unmarked and it's a free goal-scoring opportunity from five yards out. He leaps and heads it but does so in front of the keeper. Aniket Jadhav should have scored from there.
Liston Colaco gets a pass from Hugo Boumous and he charges towards the goal. He manages to get inside the box and dribbles past a couple of HFC defenders and goes for the goal. The ball gets deflected off Laxmikant Kattimani's legs and goes for a corner. Nothing from the set-piece!

ATKMB get us underway in the first half. They will attack from right to left in this half. ATMKB have registered a 3-5-2 combination coming into this game. But it won’t be surprising to see them change their structure as the match progresses. While, HFC have opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation. Will ATKMB be able to snatch one goal back in the first half?
