Atlético de Kolkata registered a 2-1 victory over Kerala Blasters FC to go top of the 2015 Indian Super League (ISL) at the Salt Lake Stadium on Tuesday and head coach Antonio Lopez Habas was a satisfied man.Speaking to the media after the match, Habas, whose team scored just six minutes into the match and then dominated possession before getting the second in the 53rd minute, however, admitted that in the last 15 minutes they let the opposition off the hook a bit allowing them to pull one back. “This is our idea [on possession play]. I am happy with the first 75 minutes but not happy with the last few minutes,” Habas told reporters.Habas’ counterpart Peter Taylor, on the other hand, when asked whether ATK tried to slow down the game due to the absence of their key players after getting an early goal, said: “I think Kolkata started better in both halves, we didn’t start particularly well but we finished well in both halves. We were excellent at the end of the first half as well as the second.“So I don’t think they slowed it down. They were good at that particular time and we were good at the end of each half.”For the third match in a row, ATK conceded a goal in the last 10 minutes. Habas said it was mainly due to their more focus on attack. “Maybe we are looking to score more, but we have to keep it tight.”With seven points from three matches (two wins and a draw), ATK now sit pretty at the top while Kerala lie in third on four points after suffering their first defeat this season.
