Hyderabad FC lost 1-0 to ATK Mohun Bagan in the second leg of the second semi-final of ISL VIII but qualified for the final on 3-2 aggregate in Bambolim on Wednesday. Hyderabad had won the first leg 3-1.

Roy Krishna scored in the 79th minute to give ATKMB a glimmer of hope and make for an end-to-end last 10 minutes but in the end, it was not enough as the men in yellow booked a final date with Kerala Blasters at the Nehru Stadium in Fatorda on Sunday.

Liston Colaco proved to be a handful for the Hyderabad defenders as he put Nim Dorjee Tamang to the sword with his runs. Colaco’s runs could have paid dividends soon but the local boy curled his effort just wide off the target after dribbling past a few Hyderabad shirts inside the box.

Colaco then tried to set up Krishna with a similar run but Yasir Mohammad did well to keep the Fijian striker at bay.

The goal came from a likely source for ATKMB as Colaco showed his magic again down the left flank, bursting down that side to cross from the byline at the far post where Krishna was on hand to slam home from close.
