Kolkata, December 10

Iain Hume struck twice as former champions Atletico de Kolkata (ATK) rallied to edge past Mumbai City FC 3-2 in the first leg of the Indian Super League semifinals.

Goals, celebrations, cards, drama and suspense all rolled into an action-packed first half which the home side led 3-2 that eventually became the final scoreline with ATK heading to Mumbai for the second leg on Tuesday.

Mizoram midfielder Lalrindika Ralte, 24, gave Kolkata a spectacular lead but their joy was short-lived as they conceded successive goals in the next nine minutes.

Leo Costa (10th) and Gerson Vieira (19th) made full use of a Diego Forlan freekick as Mumbai bounced back in style in their maiden semifinal appearance.

But Hume derailed all their plans with a double strike (39th and 45+2nd min) as ATK's never-say-die attitude finally paid off. — PTI
