ATKMB 0-0 FCGOA [45:00 min]
Unusual ATKMB continuous pressing football from the first minute. Goa as usual trying to keep possession as much as possible.
Both the team got few chances but unable to convert that.
ATKMB needs to block those passes that Goan mid is playing at their own half. This year absence of susairaj is felt very badly. Left wing is completely off. Also some gap between ATKMB attack and ATKMB mid is there which has to be eliminated for better attack.
For goa they passing the ball well. But gifting set pieces should be controlled otherwise they may get harmed by that.
Goals are coming.

I see it @Shubhayan 
Your observation led me to this finding about - How Is Stoppage Time / Added Time / Injury Time Calculated
The referees take into account the following when adding time to the end of each half of football game:
- Substitutions
- Assessment of injured players
- Removal of injured players
- Time wasting
- Disciplinary sanctions being issued
- Any medical stoppages allowed by the rules, such as those for a drinks break
- Any delays added for VAR checks
Other causes deemed relevant by the referee, such as a streaker or excessive goal celebrations.
As each half of football approaches, the fourth official is tasked with displaying the minimum amount of time that the referee has told him will be added to the period. It is important to note that this is the minimum added time; a referee can decide to play more than the time indicated but not less than it.
It is said that the injury time isn’t a perfect science and the amount of time added onto a game can vary from referee to referee.
Looks like ISL coaches have been advised a fixed time addition for each of the above stoppage time falling in the broad categories with a certain levy of personal judgement. Most likely the referees are applying the given yardstick if the stoppages are falling in a specific category. Hence the 2" + 5".
The above is just my explanation to the recurring added time. I may be wrong.

ATKMB 1-1 FCG
Exactly the same thing happened as I had mentioned after the first half. ATKMB scored the goal from free kick.
As Fan of ATKMB ,I am not at all happy with the team’s performance. Enormous miss pass in the middle. The defense is extraordinary and that is the only reason ATKMB is doing well.
Habas needs to take this team out of the defensive shell for the betterment. Come on man you have Roy and Williams in front use them for god sake.
From FCG Gama again very impressive. Pandita back to back super sub. Very well organized team.
This draws are spicing up the equations.

What to say?
@Jay , we all are watching this game from a very long time. As two drinks break is there for 2 mins minimum each. Then 4 mins are compulsory. Then if all the time wastage we see that’s definitely more than 3 min in complete 90min game.
2+5=7 (total)
2+2=4 (due to drinks break only)
Changes and other wastage=7-4=3min (only?)
Is it possible? Am not getting the logic of this activity really.

Not easy to create many chances against big clubs’ - ATK Mohun Bagan boss Antonio Habas happy with draw against FC Goa
After back-to-back games without a win, the Kolkata giants’ head coach Antonio Habas said that his team had the opportunity to beat Goa but they wasted their chances.
“A lot of alternatives for both the teams. The scored in the final third. We had the chance to win the match before we scored the goal. I want to win all three points. But one point is very important,” Habas said after the game.
Habas believes it is not possible to create a lot of chances while playing against big clubs.
“I think in a big match between two big teams, lots of chances to score are not possible. It is impossible that one team will have four, five or six chances,” he said.
