A BRILLIANT BRACE FROM Sunil Chhetri saw Mumbai City end the first half in a commanding position with a 2-1 lead over NorthEast United in ISL tonight.
MUMBAI CITY FC players will be wearing a black armband tonight to mourn the passing of Selim Benachour's father. The France-born Tunisian attacking midfielder has left for Paris to be with his family during this tragic time.
OCCUPYING THE 6th and 7th place on the ISL table with 7 and 6 points to their names, Mumbai City and NorthEast United's encounter tonight has a lot on stake for both the teams. It will decide who gets to turn their two-win comeback into a three-win streak and who gets dealt another blow in their campaign.
THE ROUND 5 BROUGHT to us the fact that the ISL contest is far from over and it's early to say we've got our definitive top four already. The shaky starters who stumbled over the first few blocks steadied their ships and started sailing, while a few others who had begun on a bright note were plunged into depths of woe.
A FIRST HALF penalty goal by Sunil Chhetri followed by an early second half stunner from Frederic Piquionne saw Mumbai City dominate the match and clinch a crucial 2-0 victory over table toppers FC Goa.
A PENALTY GOAL provided a deserving lead for Mumbai City who dominated FC Goa throughout most of the first half at D Y Patil Stadium tonight.
Having to live up to the kind of reputation TFG has built over the last few rounds, we venture to call the games of Round 6 of the Indian Super League. With the title race thickening and teams starting to have their own days of shine, things are only getting tougher. This round has a double-header for the Mumbaikars, both at home. The other Dark Horses are also in play, two against each other. A very interesting round which will set the trend.
A SUPERB BRACE BY SUNIL CHHETRI saw Mumbai City propel past the Dehli Dynamos 2-0 in a highly entertaining match at D Y Patil stadium tonight.
The Indian captain Sunil Chhetri shined on his second start for Mumbai City as he got them an all-important one goal lead in the first half. Leading Delhi Dynamos 1-0 at half-time, Mumbai are looking at a potential win at home, their very first of the season.
The predictions and results of the 4th round proved that TFG's overall assessment of the teams and the games were right. We take on from there and as more clarity emerges about each team vis-a-vis players and strategies, we bring you the winners and losers of the 5th Round which commences today evening.
