KOLKATA: ATK Mohun Bagan progressed to the AFC Cup inter-zonal semi-finals with a resounding 5-2 victory over Maziya S&RC (Maldives) at the Salt Lake Stadium here on Tuesday.

Both ATKMB (6 points from 3 matches) and Bangladesh’s Bashundhara Kings (6 points from 3 matches) finished level on points, but the former edged out the latter to the Group D top spot on head-to-head record.

While Maziya (3 points from 3 matches) came third in the pool, Gokulam Kerala FC (3 points from 3 matches) was rooted to the bottom. In the all-important Mohun Bagan-Maziya contest, Joni Kauko (26’ & 37’) starred for Juan Ferrando’s team with a first-half brace.

In the second period, Roy Krishna (56’), Subhasish Bose (58’) and Carl McHugh (71’) scored a goal each for ‘host’ ATKMB.

Tana (45’ & 73’) struck both the goals for Maziya, which started the match on the front foot but could not sustain the pressure.
