Proceedings have begun at the Gachibowli Stadium in Hyderabad. It is Hyderabad FC vs Mumbai City FC.

7' A slow start to the game. Mumbai have kept the ball all this time but they have not quite formed an attack on the Hyderabad goal.

9' First shot of the game and Mumbai City FC come close but do not get the goal. Lallianzuala Chhangte's aim is just a little incorrect and he misses to the left. Big relief for Hyderabad.

13' Hyderabad FC's first shot of the night on the goal is blocked. Allan Paulista with the kick from outside the box as he can not find the space to enter the box. But the Mumbai City goalkeeper Lachenpa stands tall to make a save.

24' Jorge Ortíz aims for a goal from long range but can not beat the goalkeeper. Mumbai City still trying to find the first goal despite being the dominant side throughout the first 25 minutes of this game.

38' It is one way traffic so far at the GMC Balayogi Stadium. Hyderabad are lucky that they are not yet behind in this game. Mumbai have been top class so far with consistent attacks but have not been able to finish things well and that is why the deadlock still remains.

44' Vikram Partap Singh with another shot for Mumbai City and yet again it is a miss as his shot from the box is not on target. Hyderabad just somehow managing to keep scores at 0-0.

First Half Ends!

It is 0-0 so far. A dominating 45 minutes of play for Mumbai City FC but they have nothing to show on the scoresheet. They have taken nine attempts on the goal as compared to their opponent's three but none of these materialised into a goal. A frustrating half for the visitors while the Hyderabad side will need to be more careful in their defence otherwise a goal is somewhere around the corner.

Second half is underway now at the GMC Balayogi Stadium. Mumbai City FC will be desparate for a goal after missing a plenty of opportunities in the first half. Hyderabad are trying to hold off an attacking Mumbai City.

62' It is still locked at 0-0. Mumbai City are just not being able to find that opening goal despite putting the Hyderabad FC under a lot of pressure.

69' Jorge Ortíz denied this time. He aims the bottom left corner but Hyderabad goalkeeper Singh makes a save and the Islanders continue to wait. Brilliant day in the goal for Singh so far.

79' Just ten minutes left in the regulation time and Mumbai cant seem to find a way to get the scoreboard moving. They have taken seven shots on target as comparted to Hyderabad's one but still both teams have the same number of goals which is zero.

85' Hyderabad FC get a shot after a long time. Devendra Murgaokar fires it from outside the box but the attempt is saved.

Fourth official has announced 5 minutes of added time. Is there a twist left or are we headed for a goalless draw?

Full-time!!!

It is a draw. A frustrating one for Mumbai City while a hard-fought one for Hyderabad.

So the game ends 0-0. A frustrating result for Mumbai. They were in control of the game throughout but lacked the finishing touch and that is whey they will have to share points with Hyderabad who showed good resolve in the defence. Chances for Hyderabad to score came rarely but they too missed and thus the game just ends without a goal.

Mumbai City FC move up to the fifth place in the standings but they have played an extra game when compared to Bengaluru FC who have slumped to sixth. Hyderabad FC remain at the penultimate spot.
