After a lacklustre start to its AFC Cup campaign, the Green and Maroon brigade progressed to the inter-zone semifinal playoff of the tournament with a thumping 5-2 win over Maziya SC.
Juan Ferrando’s side finished as winners of Group D with six points, level with Bashundhara Kings, but progressed on account of their superior head-to-head and goal difference.
ATK Mohun Bagan though, look like a different side after the club signed two defenders, Guinean Florentin Pogba and Australian Brendan Hamill, to bolster their line-up.
A couple of noticeable changes include forwards David Williams and Roy Krishna parting ways with the club. While Krishna left the franchise after three successful years, Williams departed after two seasons.
