ATK Mohun Bagan defeated Bashundhara Kings 4-0 in their AFC Cup group game courtesy of a hattrick from Liston Colaco and David Williams' strike.
ATK Mohun Bagan beat Bashundhara Kings 4-0 to keep their hopes alive of making it out of the AFC Cup group stage thanks to Liston Colaco's hattrick, while David Williams also found the back of the net.
The two sides met each other at Salt Lake Stadium on Saturday, with ATK Mohun Bagan having already tasted defeat at the hands of Gokulam Kerala earlier, but they went to the top of their group with a win over the Bangladeshi club, albeit temporarily, with Gokulam slated to take on Maziya later in the day.
Liston Colaco was the star of the show as he scored three goals while David Williams, who is slated to join rivals Mumbai City FC, also got his name on the scoresheet.

In a must-win game after their defeat to Gokulam Kerala in the Group D opener on Wednesday, ATK Mohun Bagan's strong start was halted by strong winds and thundershowers that also damaged some parts of the Salt Lake Stadium.
The match was held up for close to one hour after 11 minutes into the first half and the Mariners returned to blow away the Bangladeshi Premier League champions with Colaco's double strike in the space of nine minutes (25th and 34th).
Colaco completed his hat-trick in the 53rd minute with a brilliant left-footed first touch, while David Williams came off the bench to seal a thumping win with his 77th-minute strike.
