BENGALURU: Former champions Bengaluru FC's hopes to rescue the season with a second straight win were dealt a serious blow by ATK Mohun Bagan as Australian striker Dimitrios Petratos 66th-minute strike propelled the Kolkata club to a 1-0 win at the Sree Kanteerava stadium here on Saturday.
BFC, who started the match after beating FC Goa away, found the going tough against a determined Bagan who effectively foiled the threat posed by Fijian striker Roy Krishna and BFC skipper Sunil Chhetri. Thousands of fans, who skipped the World Cup on television to watch their favourite teams, got some exciting action in the second half after a goalless first.
