2021 AFC Cup: Nasaf 6-0 ATK Mohun Bagan: Mariners equal worst defeat record

What a peach of a through ball there by&nbsp;Bozorov and substitute Donier Narzullaev keeps his calm before slotting it past Amrinder as the Bagan contingent are with their hands in the air so to claim an off-side.&nbsp;

71' IT'S HALF A DOZEN

Nasaf adds a fifth goal before the break. Bozorov with a tap-in from a simple cross into the box from the right flank.&nbsp; &nbsp;

45+1' FIVE FOR NASAF!

Nasaf cut through the Bagan defence with ease to add to their tally - painful to watch if you are a Bagan supporter. Akmal slips Khusain into the box and the latter beats the keeper as if he is playing a practice game.&nbsp;

31' HAT-TRICK FOR KHUSAIN! 

A chipped cross from the left is headed back into the centre of the box from where Khusain finds the net in his second try to increase the lead.&nbsp;

21' IT'S THREEEE!!

Bagan allow their opponents too much space down their left wing. Khusain makes an excellent run into the six-yard box in between the Bagan defenders to tap home a low cross from the left to double his team's lead.&nbsp;

18' NASAF AGAIN! 

The Mariners have been caught out inside the box from a corner kick. The ball is headed in through a crowd of Bagan defenders by Pritam Kotal! What an unfortunate accident.&nbsp;

4' OWN GOAL!!!

The 6-0 loss means that Bagan have equalled their&nbsp;worst defeat in the AFC Cup, albiet the last one with a similar scoreline was in the group stage against Al Kuwait back in 2009&nbsp;when the Kuwaiti side went on to become champions.&nbsp; Nasaf, when they defeated Dempo with an aggregate scoreline of 13-0 in 2011, also went on to become champions in what was the last time they had participated in the competition.

FULL TIME

ATK Mohun Bagan's 2021 AFC Cup campaign is over

Abshishek and Kiyan come on in place of Kauko and David Williams

88' ATKMB changes

End of the night for Joni Kauko on his debut for the Mariners

Sardor Sadullaev gets at the end of a cross from the right but his header is blocked by Ashutosh, and a shot off the rebound by Narzullaev is somehow kept out by Kotal on the goalline.

NEARLY 7-0!

Good to see Soosai back in action as he replaces Manvir

68' Soosai is back

Second half substitute Anrija Kaluderovic but headed down one of those many deliveries from the left by Sherzod Nasrullaev straight down the throat of Amrinder in the ATK Mohun Bagan goal. Should have done better with the direction given that it was a free header of sorts.

54' NASAF! Almost six!

He missed a penalty before scoring the fifth for the Uzbek side and shoots wide of Amrinder's goal minutes into the second half now.

Bozorov is still hungry

It's been a one-sided first half in favour of Nasaf who defeated the likes of Dempo 4-0 and 9-0 in the previous times they faced an Indian side in the competition. Liston Colaco replaces Sheikh Sahil for the rest of the game.

Second half underway

One-sided battle so far. Bagan have not got anything going and Nasaf have this in the bag.&nbsp;

HALF-TIME

Pritam Kotal brings down Bakhrom inside the box but Bozorov hits the bar with his spot-kick! Phew.&nbsp;

HITS THE BAR!

Nasaf have only lost one of their last 16 games in the AFC Cup, winning 14 of them including the last five games in a row (W14 D1 L1).

Hard to beat

Coming into this game, Nasaf are the top scorers in the 2021 AFC Champions League with 12 goals so far this season. They have attempted more shots (61) and had more shots on target (25) than any team in the competition this season.

Deadly

Nasaf too good? 

A corner kick is played towards the edge of the box from where Stanojevic attempts a first-time effort which is deflected away for another corner! Pressure.&nbsp;

SHOT!

The Mariners finished atop in Group D with 7 points from 3 games after the&nbsp;1-1 draw against Bangladesh's Bashundhara Kings, besides picking&nbsp;wins over Bengaluru (2-0) and Maziya S&amp;RC (3-1). However, Nasaf pose a tougher challenge. Nasaf&nbsp;emerged as the Central Asian Zone winners after winning 3-2 against Ahal FC of Turkmenistan. In the group stage, they won all their three matches to finish on top with nine points. They scored nine goals and did not concede any.&nbsp;

A battle of two strong teams

We are underway at the Markaziy Stadium!&nbsp;
