Goa, Jan 25 : For NorthEast United, life in the Indian Super League (ISL) without Gerard Nus has been off to a rather positive start. Snapping a winless run against Jamshedpur FC propelled them all the way to fifth on the table. Now they face a much tougher test of their credentials when they take on ATK Mohun Bagan at the Fatorda Stadium here on Tuesday.
With teams entering the final third of the season, NEUFC can afford no more slip-ups if they are to enter the playoffs. Fortunately, as they line up against a team that has been stingy at the back all season, they have found an unexpected source of goals. Against Jamshedpur on Sunday, the winner was scored by Deshorn Brown, who arrived from Bengaluru FC recently. The Jamaican, who had failed to impress at BFC, seems to have hit the ground running at NEUFC.

January 22, 2021
Mohun Bagan secured three points after a 1-0 win over Chennaiyin FC at the Fatorda Stadium yesterday. David Williams scored the only goal of the game in second-half stoppage time.
Mohun Bagan had a big chance to go ahead in the 39th minute when a cross from the left found Krishna in the box, but the Fijian’s header sailed over the crossbar. Memo Moura also took a shot from range for Chennaiyin just before halftime. His effort though was deflected behind for a corner, which was defended safely as the teams went into the break with the match goalless.
It was Chennaiyin who were on the attack early on, with Arindam called into action as early as in the fifth minute. Chennaiyin captain Rafael Crivellaro, after receiving the ball from Jakub Sylvestr, fired a shot at goal only for Arindam to block it. Minutes later, Lallianzuala Chhangte found himself in a good position but fired wide.
ATKMB grew into the game as it progressed, with their main attacking outlet Roy Krishna often finding himself in the thick of things. In the 19th minute, he supplied Manvir on the right and got into position to receive the ball back, only for the latter to lose it. A minute later, he chased down a deflected ball and nearly scored but was flagged for offside.
