KOLKATA: All's well that ends well. Juan Ferrando's ATK Mohun Bagan proved this adage in spectacular manner, brushing aside Maziya Sports and Recreation Club of Maldives 5-2 at the Salt Lake Stadium on Tuesday and stormed into the AFC Cup interzonal semifinal playoff as Group D winners.
If Liston Colaco was the architect of their 4-0 win against Bashundhara Kings three days ago, Joni Kauko was in the heart of the team's latest demolition job, putting ATKMB 2-0 up inside the opening half with a brace (in the 26 and 37 minutes). Roy Krishna (56), Subhashis Bose (59) and Carl McHugh (71) then joined the party in completing their mission in style.
