Mumbai City FC once again stamped their authority in the ongoing Indian Super League (ISL) 2022-23 season as the Islanders defeated Odisha FC 4-2 at the Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneshwar. It was a goal-fest as a total of 6 goals were scored in this ISL 2022-23 game.
After a tight first half which saw no goals being scored, Lallianzuala Chhangte drew first blood for Mumbai City FC. The Durand Cup 2022 Golden Boot winner netted a brace in the game.
Diego Mauricio, arguably Odisha FC’s best player in ISL 2022-23 netted a brace as well in the game. However, the Brazilian striker’s heroics went in vain as the Juggernauts tasted defeat in this game.
Des Buckingham’s men are on a roll in the ISL 2022-23. They have remained unbeaten in this entire sojourn and have been playing an exceptional brand of football. The other two goals for Mumbai were scored by Bipin Singh and Alberto Noguera in this ISL 2022-23 game.
Even though Odisha FC’s custodian Amrinder Singh put up a strong and resolute defensive display, that couldn’t match up to the prowess of the table toppers of this ISL edition. Mumbai City FC is now unbeaten for 12 matches and has registered 9 wins.
That speaks volumes of their unparalleled domination in ISL 2022-23. Des Buckingham’s men have regained the top spot of the table and are now 2 points clear of defending champions Hyderabad FC.
Diego Mauricio’s goal in the extra time of the game was a consolation prize for Josep Gombau’s men as they suffered their 5th defeat in ISL 2022-23. They will now be facing an upbeat East Bengal FC side on 7th January 2023. Stephen Constantine’s men are coming on the back of a well-fought win over Bengaluru FC in the last game.
Mumbai City FC next lock horns with Kerala Blasters FC on 8th January 2023. The stakes will be quite high in this game as both teams are brimming with positivity and good performances in this ISL season.
