Indian Super League (ISL) side, ATK Mohun Bagan will look to end their AFC Cup 2022 campaign in the best possible way and give them a chance of qualifying for the next stage when they face Maziya on Tuesday, May 24 at the Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.
ATK Mohun Bagan started the tournament in the worst possible way after losing to fellow Indian side, Gokulam Kerala but got their campaign back on track by thrashing Bashundhara Kings 4-0 in their second game.
Juan Ferrando will be hoping for one last push by his side as they known that nothing than a win will suffice for them if they are to maintain their hopes of qualifying for the inter-zone playoff semi-finals as only one team from Group D will make it to the next round.
