Atletico de Kolkata manager Antonio Lopez Habas was reveling in his side's progression to the Indian Super League play-offs.
Habas' side forced a 1-1 draw with FC Goa on Wednesday to secure a third-placed finish ahead of the semi-finals where they will take on the same opponent in a two-legged series.
Fikru Teferra converted from the penalty spot in the 68th minute to cancel out Edgar Marcelino's first-half opener and although it was not a winning performance, Habas was delighted with his team.
"We are very happy with the result," he said.
"We have gotten into the semi-finals, but we played like we were playing a final or semi-final!
"It was very important that we get a point a point today. We improved a lot in different phases during the game and created many chances to score more goals."
Ahead of the semi-final first leg in Kolkata on December 14, Habas indicated that he feels his side will be very difficult to beat at home after losing just once in seven matches at the Salt Lake Stadium.
"We are not expecting the same kind of game as today. It will be a much tougher game on Sunday because we are playing in the semi-final level. But it will not be easy for any opponent to beat us," Habas added.
