It was the home team Atletico de Kolkata who won 3-0 against Mumbai City FC in the first game of the inaugural edition of the Indian Super League at the packed Vivekananda Yuva Bharati Krirangan on Sunday.
A dunk in the 28th minute from Ethiopian striker Fikru Tefera Lemessa opened the account for Atletico de Madrid. Tefera's run was brilliant and even a desperate Mumbai City FC goalkeeper Subrata Paul, who came forward but couldn't save the goal that sent the 50,000 plus crowd on a home run.
Atletico de Kolkata were a better side right from the beginning of the match as their forwards Baljit Sahni and Tefera ran amok in the Mumbai's box.
In the second half, Borja Fernandez made it 2-0 up for the home team in the 68th minute. And another Spaniard Arnal Carbo made it 3-0 in the 90+2 minute for Atletico de Kolkata .
