GOAL! Sunil Chhetri scores on penalty to make 2-1 for Mumbai City FC against Atletico de Kolkata.

80 mins: Rino Anto has gone down and is cluthing his head. The medical is treating him at the moment. He seems to have taken a knock on the head as he went for a 50-50 ball.

70 mins: Atletico de Kolkata have once again taken charge of the possession. They need to make it count by creating some goalscoring opportunities. Twenty minutes are remaining, can the hosts take the lead?

60 mins: Iain Hume runs the length of the opposition half and makes his way towards the box. He cuts to his right and gets the shot away but it is way off target. The striker had a teammate free to his right and should have passed the ball instead of shooting.

54 mins: Selim Benachour and Sunil Chhetri link up well and it puts the latter through on the left side of the box. He twists and turns to find space for a shot but the defender did well to make life difficult for the midfielder. In the end, he passed the back to Norde whose pass was intercepted by Atletico de Kolkata.

48 mins: Mumbai City FC set the ball rolling for the second half. Atletico de Kolkata have made a change during the interval, Valdo comes on for Sameehg Doutie.

The second-half kicks off in Kolkata.

Half-time: Atletico de Kolkata 1-1 Mumbai City FC.

Goal! Iain Hume scores just before half-time to make it 1-1 for Atletico de Kolkata against Mumbai City FC.

37 mins: Keegan Pereira blocks the shot of Sameehg Doutie from inside the box and the South-African took a knock just as he fired the shot. Sony Norde kicks the ball out of play so that the winger can be tended to.

Goal! Sony Norde scores in the 26th min to give Mumbai City FC 1-0 lead against Atletico de Kolkata.

25 mins: Once again Sameehg Doutie has been released by a defense-splitting pass. However, the winger had strayed offside and the linesman raised his flag just as he got his shot away.

19 mins: Rowilson does just enough to prevent Sameehg Doutie from having a clear shot at goal. The winger still managed to curl one past the defender but it was a tame shot. Subrata Paul had an easy save to make there.

12 mins: Atletico de Kolkata get the first real chance to find the back of the net. Iain Hume was through one-on-one with the keeper but could not find the target there. That was a really good opportunity to take the lead.

4 mins: Mumbai City FC concedes a free kick straightaway on the right flank. Jaime Gavilan sends in a short one into the box but Sameehg Doutie misses the ball as he went to side foot it towards the goal. That could have been a bright start for the home team if Doutie could get any sort of a connection.

Its kick off time time in Kolkata.
