It was a last-minute goal from Arunachal boy Gyamar Nikum that helped his team Rajasthan United FC beat ATK Mohun Bagan in Durand Cup.

It was in that tournament where the midfielder was scouted by Rajasthan United FC and offered a chance to be a part of their residential academy in Bhilwara. He is the one of the youngest players and first from Arunachal Pradesh in history to be selected and debut in the I-League qualifiers, at an age of 16 years and 359 days. In the last minute, Rajasthan United FC launched a counter attack with the defence of ATK Mohun Bagan back tracking.

A cross from the left found Nikum right in front of Arsh and he made no mistake to give Rajasthan United a famous victory. It was a grand debut for RUFC in the tournament, as Gyanman Niukm got the all-important winner in the fifth minute of stoppage time to silence the home crowd. ATK Mohun Bagan stepped up their attack once again and on another day, the result could have been different. However, they were clearly stung by the equaliser as they came out after the lemon break to take the lead again. Ashique Kuruniyan then put ATKMB ahead immediately after resumption but Lalremsanga Fanai tied it all up again in the 61st minute. Earlier, Kiyan Nasiri had given ATK Mohun Bagan the lead two minutes before the end of the first-half, only to see Kyrgyz Bektur Amangeldiev equalise just before Crystal John blew for half-time.

Ferrando has been trying to get ATKMB to play in a way markedly different from the direct approach of Antonio Lopez Habas. Facing a low block, ATKMB were crowded out in the rival penalty area but after a deluge of misses had Nassiri stabbing home in the 43rd when Ashique Kuruniyan found him with a prompt from the left. Staying up and making the championship round ensured a satisfactory start to their I-league journey where they finished sixth in 2021-22. Krygyzstan’s midfielder Amangeldiev made the most of ATKMB’s inability to clear their lines and Pogba not being alert to the situation and Fanai struck when the home team couldn’t deal with a corner-kick. It will have to be seen whether East Bengal, Mumbai City FC and Indian Navy pose a stiffer challenge in the 131st Durand Cup. For the second successive tournament Juan Ferrando’s ATK Mohun Bagan (ATKMB) started with a defeat against an I-League team they dominated.
