Pune get ATK's number, go top of the standings

PUNE: India international Jackichand Singh scored the fastest goal of the Indian Super league so far as FC Pune City returned to the top of the leaderboard with a clinical 1-0 win against defending champions Atletico de Kolkata at the Shiv Chhatrapati sports complex, Mhalunge Balewadi, here on Saturday. Pune now have nine points while ATK are second with seven points.
FCPC's marquee coach David Platt got ATK's number bang on when he said a day earlier that ATK were easy to analyze from the fact that they were well-organised and a well-drilled team with a consistent philosophy from their coach Antonio Lopez Habas.
This was more off a midfield battle and the hosts, who played the long ball to perfection, had major share of the game. The trusted stalwarts Didier Zokora, Roger Johnson, Tuncay Sanli and Yendrick Ruiz were all back in the starting XI this time with Eugeneson Lyngdoh included. Under pressure Blasters face Dynamos threat
KOCHI: Their journey in ISL two has been in sharp contrast and when Kerala Blasters cross swords with Delhi Dynamos on Sunday night at Jawaharlal Nehru International Stadium here, expect a no holds barred contest.
The pressure will be on the home side as the Roberto Carlos-managed side will be keen to keep their winning momentum. There are question marks hovering over Blasters strategy too as manager Peter Taylor's rotation policy and counter-attack based game plan backfired in the last two games.
