Awards
ATK FC collect the Club Award for winning the match this evening. Prabir Das is given the Limitless Player of the Match Award. Jayesh Rane bags the Winning Pass of the Match Award. Sumit Rathi takes home the Emerging Player of the Match Award and David Williams is the choice for the Hero of the Match Award.
ATK FC edge it
ATK FC edge the tie by a goal to nil at the expense of Bengaluru FC's unbeaten away record. The hosts jump to the top of the table, thanks to a greater goal difference. David Williams' firm strike in the 47th minute was the difference. The Blues remain in third place as they were before the start of this match. In the balance of play, the hosts deserved to win the game with Michael Soosairaj and Roy Krishna combining well in the first half, while David Williams struck home two minutes after the resumption. It wasn't until the final minute of injury time did Bengaluru FC look like scoring. All in all, a very professional display at home by ATK FC, which preserves their unbeaten run in front of their crowd. ATK FC will savour this win as it's their first victory against Bengaluru FC after 5 attempts.

Play resumes
ATK FC get us underway. Rahul Bheke raises his foot too high towards Roy Krishna. The referee signals free kick, nothing comes off it.
An interesting stalemate!
The score after first 45 minutes is the same as it was at the start. Both teams have defended really well, keeping chances to a bare minimum. That said, ATK FC have been the primary aggressor, the combination of David Williams, Roy Krishna and Michael Soosairaj has been very promising up front. They have kept the Bengaluru FC defence honest and on their toes. The Blues, on the other hand, were able to trouble the hosts with set-pieces only. History is firmly inclined in Bengaluru FC's favour, going by the perfectH2H record against ATK FC. Will that change tonight? It promises to be an interesting second half. Stay tuned.

An exciting clash awaits!
Match no. 45 sees ATK FC take on Bengaluru FC at Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan, Kolkata. The yesteryear champions, ATK FC, play their first match at home in December. A run of three away games, saw the joint top-scorers of this league, pick up only 4 points on the road. The hosts are unbeaten at home in three games they’ve played so far, with two wins and a draw. They also boast of a potent attacking trifecta of David Williams, Edu Garcia and Roy Krishna, who have scored 15 of the 18 goals the Kolkata-based club has scored so far. The Fijian, Roy Krishna, is the league’s top scorer with eight goals. He comes into this match in red-hot form, scoring 4 goals in the last three matches. ATK FC’s head coach, Antonio Habas, will surely want his players to show their true level against an opponent like Bengaluru FC, who are unbeaten in five away games. The current champions have won two games while drawing three on the road. The Blues also boast of the most miserly defense in the league, conceding only 5 goals. Bengaluru FC’s already strong defense has been bolstered by the timely return of Erik Paartalu. He was a massive presence in their most recent away victory against NorthEast United FC. The head-to-head record is heavily skewed in favour of the Blues, who have won all 4 meetings between these sides. Today’s Christmas-day fixture marks the halfway stage of the league games. A win for either will catapult them to the top. Which team will win and have a merrier Christmas? Find out at 19:30 IST.
