Cannot be separated!
What a match! It ends 2-2. Both sides scored a goal apiece in the fag end of the second half to end it all square. After the first half ended 1-1, the second half started with both sides going toe to toe, however, neither fashioned a defining chance on goal. The managers rang in the substitutions to create some clear-cut chances but it was skipper Marcelo Pereira's peach of a ball to Bobo, which resulted in Hyderabad FC taking the lead in the 85th minute. After five minutes, it took an over-eager Kamaljit Singh, to throw away the lead with a hurried clearance, which fell straight to Javier Hernandez. He headed the ball back for Roy Krishna, who slotted the ball home to bring the match back to level terms. This result sees Hyderabad FC on 5 points and rooted to the bottom while ATK FC jump up a place to the second spot, with 15 points.

Roy Krishna levels it up. Has Kamaljit Singh snatched a win away from his team? The answer could be yes. After saving Roy Krishna's shot on goal, Kamaljit Singh tries to restart play almost immediately. His clearance falls straight to Javier Hernandez who heads the ball to Roy Krishna inside the box. As Kamaljit Singh comes to block Krishna, the Fijian chips it over the keeper's head. The ball hits the underside of the crossbar and deflects in for a goal.

Matchday!
Languishing at the bottom of the standings, Hyderabad FC are hosting ATK in Game 43 of the 2019/20 ISL. Playing their 9th game of the season, the hosts have managed to bag three points on only one occasion when they defeated Kerala Blasters FC in their third game. Since then, they have lost 4 and drawn one. Hyderabad FC are going to face a stern test against the strong frontline of the visitors which consists of the likes of Michael Soosairaj, David Williams and Roy Krishna who have been brilliant in front of the opposition goal. Notably, they are the side who have conceded the most goals in the season. Return of Marcelo Pereira will boost their attacking abilities who can assist Bobo and Robin Singh at the front. The visitors, on the other hand, lost their first game of the season and since then bagged 4 wins and a couple of draws. However, they crumbled against FC Goa in their last encounter, they would like to take it as an aberration. Roy Krishna, the leading goalscorer of the season so far, will look to consolidate his position at the top with a few more strikes in the back of the net. He will get assistance from David Williams and Javier Hernandez. Pritam Kotal and Prabir Das have been brilliant at the back for ATK and they would have a relatively easier task to stop the misfiring forward line of the home team. Will Hyderabad bag their second win of the season or will ATK take three points to take the pole position?
