KOLKATA: With their pride wounded and reputation taken a beating, ATK Mohun Bagan responded to the crisis hovering over their AFC Cup campaign in remarkable fashion, riding Liston Colaco's hat-trick to blow away Bangladesh champions Bashundhara Kings 4-0 at the Salt Lake Stadium on Saturday and staying alive in the continental competition with renewed hope.
Soon after the game kicked off, a powerful nor'wester hit the city forcing the players to return to the dressing room twice inside the opening 13 minutes. And when action resumed, after a gap of overall 50 minutes, Bashundhara Kings found themselves in the eye of another storm in the form of Colaco.
