Atlético Kolkata Day 27 & 28 Report


Day 27: Park the bus! We won 3-0 at home without a striker. Luckily had a match against a very weak opponent. Since I couldn't win the league, let's unlock an achievement. 4-1-2N-3W-0 was our formation, with red arrow on AMC Rose. Soto and Guerro scored in 17' and 42' respectively. Then in the 59' Kamyabinia headed a Rose corner ro seal the deal. MOM, for the 8th time this season, was Rose.

Day 28: In the 3rd place playoff of the league, it was Atlético Kolkata vs Bristol FC. The hosts needed to onlt not lose, while the visitors needed only a win to take home £5M. Result: 3-3. A rollercoaster match. Rhys Dixon got cards in 6' and 18', leading to his expulsion and we trailed by 1 after they scored from the freekick. Moments before being substituted in 26' Luke Rose assisted Jong-Shin Kim from a corner. MC Rama Das came for him. Then Portillo scored from a pass by Entwisle in 32'. They got a freekick, and equalised in the 42'. They leaded in the 76' again, and I desperately wanted £5M. In the 83' super sub Rama Das drived in the corner to be scored by Samal Sulaiwa. 7 minutes later, Atlético Kolkata ended their 4th season by finishing 3rd in league, after exiting in the Group Stage in CL and winning their first trophy, the Cup.



However, Atlético de Kolkata lost 3-0 to Chennaiyin FC in the first leg of the semifinals. It was played at Pune due to floods in Chennai. I pray for all the people stuck there.
