While Hyderabad head coach Manolo Marquez didn’t change the team that won the first leg 3-1, ATKMB manager Juan Ferrando made a few changes in his side. Injured Tiri was kept out of the game while Kiyan Nassiri got a chance in the starting XI.

ATK Mohun Bagan dominated the second game in almost all departments, be it ball possession, passes or shots on target yet they failed to get the second goal of the day. Their attack in the game was really impressive but Hyderabad FC with the lead on aggregate dug in deep for defence and deprived ATKMB of an equalizer.
