HDFC emerged deserving 2-0 winners against a spirited Atlanta FC in a well-contested First Division match of the MDFA (Mumbai District Football Association) League 2015-2016, and played at the St. Xavier’s ground, Parel on Thursday.
After the first half ended goalless HDFC earned the breakthrough thanks mainly to an own goal, courtesy Atlanta defender Pravin Raj who deflected the ball into his own net in the 57th minute. HDFC doubled the lead 11 minutes later through striker Jayesh Naik to complete the win and pick up the full three points.
