KOLKATA: ATK Mohun Bagan suffered a rude jolt in their search of the elusive Indian Super League crown, going down 1-2 to Chennaiyin FC in their campaign-opener at the Salt Lake Stadium on Monday.
When Manvir Singh put the home team in front, providing a sumptuous finish to an equally eye-catching move in the 26th minute, Juan Ferrando's side appeared to be set for a smooth sailing. But Chennaiyin FC came back after the break with a different plan and their German coach Tomas Brdaric's decision to introduce Ghanaian striker Kwame Karikari in the 58th minute turned out to be a game-changer.
