Weltnachrichten – AU – ISL 2020-21: David Williams hits FC Bengaluru 1-0 as ATK Mohun Bagan

The Australian scored his first goal of the campaign with a stunner enough to inflict Bengaluru’s first loss of the season.

The win brought the Kolkata side to 16 points from seven games, as did Mumbai City FC. Bengaluru remained third with 12 points.

ATKMB looked threatening from the start and had good opportunities to convert their dominance into goals. However, Manvir Singh saw that his two first quarter efforts could easily be saved by the goalkeeper.

In the 11th. Minute, Subhasish Bose drilled a low flank for Manvir, who defeated Bheke. But his first shot was easily caught by goalkeeper Gurpreet. His second attempt was set up by Garcia with a great through ball, which was also handled by the Bengaluru goalkeeper. Sunil Chhetri tested Arindam Bhattacharya, but it went straight to the ATKMB custodian.

ATKMB deservedly took the lead after half an hour. David Williams opened his account this season with a stunning goal that showed serenity and class. Carl McHugh found Williams with a long ball, which he controlled with an excellent first touch. The Australian created a room and entered the center of the park before firing a shot in the top right corner. Gurpreet couldn’t get his hand to the ball even though he dived full length.

The home team returned where they left off and Williams nearly doubled their lead early in the second half. Roy Krishna showed his strength on the left and ran into the box and put Williams on. But the Australian’s attempt went just over the bar.

Bengaluru had in 73. Minute has a great chance to restore parity. A bad kick from Arindam brought BFC to attack. Leon Augustine found Suresh Wangjam on the right and he cut it back to Cleiton Silva. Silva should have scored from close range, but had to shoot far instead. On the other end, Gurpreet came back with another fine for refusing Manvir.

Bengaluru pushed hard for an equalizer, but the ATKMB defense were on their best as they helped their team maintain their one-goal advantage.
