We should not forget that it was a home game for Fc Nasaf. Too many goals at the beginning of the game affected the morale of our players. If it was not for the tactical mistakes of habas(and not including foreign players in defense), ATK Mohun Bagan could have still won or drawn the game and win the penalty shootouts.
“FC Nasaf played at an astonishing speed and that caught us unawares. That’s because we usually train in grounds which do not allow us to practice at such a speed,” - Habas

Inter Zonal final: Nasaf (Uzbekistan) defeated Lee Man(Hong Kong ) 3–2 (a.e.t.) in Inter-zone play-off final. Have to appreciate Lee Man performance. Despite playing an away game, they have scored 2 goals and at full time it is 2-2 and lost in extra time.
Even Ahal (Turkmenistan club) played very well against Nasaf , despite losing in Zonal final.
Only ATK MB ashamed us by losing badly to Nasaf and Habas claiming match fitness & speed of Uzbek players.
