Bengaluru: Javi Hernandez netted a brace as ATK beat Chennaiyin FC 3-1 to clinch the Indian Super League (ISL) crown for a record third time in the final played under closed doors at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Fatorda on Saturday .
Spaniard Javi scored in the tenth minute to hand ATK the lead before Edu Garcia doubled the lead in the 47th minute.
Though Chennaiyin FC’s Nerijus Valskis reduced the gap in the 69th minute, the effort came a tad too late as ATK has established a vice-like grip over the proceedings by that time.
Javi added one more in the third minute of the stoppage time to pile on the misery for Chennaiyin FC.
The only consolation for Chennaiyin FC was Valskis winning the Golden Boot award.
Both ATK and Chennaiyin had the ISL twice already and were looking to become the first side to win it three times with the honour falling on the latter in the final played under closed doors due to the coronavirus scare.
