Mumbai City FC looked a bit off-colour in the first half and failed to have a single shot on target. This was something quite unusual but they came out quite strongly in the second half, to pull the strings of the game to their favour and sink an already-struggling Jamshedpur FC.
Jamshedpur FC’s Boris Singh received a sensational through ball from Ritwik Das and then scored the goal for the Miners’, from a tight angle. Hard-work and perseverance paid off for Aidy Boothroyd’s men but the celebrations didn’t last for too long as Mumbai City FC staged a fantastic comeback.
At around the 80th minute, the man in form, Lallianzuala Chhangte netted the goal for Mumbai City FC. A low cross from Bipin Singh was received well by Chhangte and he found the back of the net.
Around the 86th minute of the game, Chhangte and Vikram Singh joined hands to net the second goal for Mumbai City FC. Chhangte gave a lovely through ball to Singh in the right and Singh lobbed the ball straight behind the custodian of Jamshedpur FC Rehenesh, from a distance.
