ATK FC go top
This has been a terrific performance from ATK FC. They were brilliant from the start and it showed when Roy Krishna scored the first goal of the game in just the second minute. They were helped by some poor defending from Jamshedpur FC but they won't mind. 15 minutes into half time, ATK FC swelled their lead and from there, there was no looking back. Roy Krishna added one more to his tally in the 75th minute which pretty much killed the game. Jamshedpur FC, on the other hand, were disappointing. They had more possession but could not make much use of it. The defending was poor while they could not attack much. They had only 2 goals on target as compared to ATK FC's 8. With this win, the visitors displace FC Goa at the top..

ATK FC with the lead
What a first half for ATK FC! The game started with a goal in the second minute when Roy Krishna made it 1-0. From there, ATK FC never looked back and they kept on attacking but could not convert. They could have scored another in the 33rd minute but it was well blocked by Joyner Lourenco. Jamshedpur FC had more possession but it were ATK FC who managed to score. The hosts, on the other hand, had only 1 shot on target. They need to attack a lot more if they want to win this game. Will we see a comeback from Jamshedpur FC or will ATK FC go on top? Join us in a while to find out.

ATK FC Playing XI
Arindam Bhattacharja (GK), Sumit Rathi, Agustin Iniguez (C), Anas Edathodika, Prabir Das, Pritam Kotal, Javier Hernandez, Armando Sosa Pena, Edu Garcia, Jayesh Rane, Roy Krishna.
Time for match 73 of the Indian Super League. It is Jamshedpur FC who are ready to host ATK FC at the JRD Tata Sports Complex in Jamshedpur. ATK FC are coming on the back of twin victories and a hat-trick of wins for them would take them to the top of the points table. The backline has been led by goalkeeper Arindam Bhattacharja excellently with the likes of Prabir Das, Pritam Kotal and Agustin Iniguez. Roy Krishna, David Williams and Michael Soosairaj have been brilliant at the attacking front and would be eager to repeat their performances from the last game. Jamshedpur FC, on the other hand, are at no. 7 on the points table and a win here will keep themselves in the hunt of a place in the final 4. Noe Acosta and Sergio Castel will have the responsibility at the opposition box while the likes of Narender Gahlot, Memo Moura and Aitor Monroy will look to contain the attack from the ATK FC. Will the hosts be able to keep themselves in the top-4 place hunt or will the ATK FC be able to bag three points to go to the top of the points table?
