ISL: ATK suffer third straight defeat, lose 0-1 to Jamshedpur
Kolkata, Jan 28 (IANS) ATK succumbed to their third straight defeat of the Indian Super League (ISL), this time losing to Jamshedpur FC 0-1 at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan here on Sunday.
Trindade Goncalves scored a second-half winner in the 66th minute to help Jamshedpur get back to winning ways after losing the previous match.
The result means ATK stay in the eighth position while Jamshedpur remained fifth but now have 19 points from 11 games.
Jamshedpur got a chance in the opening exchanges with Goncalves coming close to find the top corner with a drive from outside the box.
The visitors created a few chances in the first period but lacked good finishing to take the lead.
In the 25th minute, Jerry Mawihmingthanga took a swipe but failed to keep the ball down.
ATK took time to get into the game with their first corner coming in the 32nd minute. Jayesh Rane got a shot on target but it was a feeble one which Jamshedpur keeper Subrata Paul collected with ease.
In the 40th minute, Martin Paterson made a smart run towards the near post to get on the end of David Cotterill’s corner. Paterson’s shot though forced Paul into a good save.
At the other end, Izu Azuka was controversially flagged offside when replays showed otherwise.
At halftime, both teams were locked 0-0.
Three minutes into the second half, Golcalves met Jerry’s cross but the upright denied his volley.
Moments later, Jamshedpur took the lead. Hitesh Sharma felled Golcalves inside the area for the referee to point towards the spot. Golcalves made no mistake, with Debjit diving the wrong way.
ATK got a few chances to restore parity but failed to score.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
