I think today we had a really hard game against ATK Mohun Bagan but honestly, we had many clear chances to win the game," said Kino Garcia in a post-match press conference, as per the ISL website.

"I think we had many chances. We had a plan against ATK Mohun Bagan, we knew how to close the spaces and I think that we didn't suffer a lot against one of the best teams in the ISL. We had really good chances, with Aridai and also the penalty so, I think that we had really clear chances during the game and I'm really proud of the performance of my players and how they gave everything today on the pitch," he added.

So sometimes, the player is working hard and you give them a chance and I think that he deserved to be one of the better players of the game.
