Mumbai City FC Vs Mohun Bagan, ISL Highlights: MCFC 2-2 MBSG At Full-time

Welcome to the live coverage of the Indian Super League 2024-25. Today is a double header and you have joined the coverage of the first game of the day where Mumbai City FC host Mohun Bagan.

Mumbai City FC have won just eight matches this season, their lowest tally since the 2020-21 campaign, and they are placed at the sixth spot with 32 points from 21 games. They need a win to qualify for the top-six, and could even make it there with fewer points if other results fall in their favour.

The champions Mohun Bagan are unbeaten in their last five away games. They have won three and drawn two. A win or a draw in this fixture will see them equal their longest unbeaten away sequence in ISL history.

Mumbai City FC have managed just four home wins this season, their lowest home tally since 2015 and 2016 (three each)

Game begins! Mumbai City FC playing in 4-3-3 formation while Mohun Bagan are playing with 4-2-3-1.

7' Mohun Bagan come up with the first shot of the game and it is Jamie Maclaren who fires it a bit high from the goalpost from outside the box.

11' Bipin Singh's left-footer from outside the box has been blocked. So, Mumbai City FC too begin with their attacks. An interesting start to the game so far.

23' Both teams even so far. There came a flurry of shots from Mumbai City around the ten-minute mark but they were not able to score. Mohun Bagan had started agressively but Mumbai have looked a bit heavy in the last few minutes.

27' Mohun Bagan come close to scoring but Deepak Tangri's shot on the goal has been blocked. Another shot from outside the box.

32' GOAL!!!

Mohun Bagan go ahead. Jamie Maclaren breaks the deadlock just after the drinks break with a brilliant strike. He slots the ball into the bottom left corner and Mumbai City's defence has been found wanting.

41' GOAL!!!

Dimitri Petratos beats the goalkeeper now. Mohun Bagan pile more pressure on the Mumbai defence as they double their lead. Phurba Lachenpa pushes Liston Colaco's cross right into the path of Dimtri Petratos, who makes no mistake.

Second half begins! Mumbai City FC 0-2 Mohun Bagan

51' Some really agressive start to the second half from both sides. Within a few minutes of the whistle, we had full back and forth action at the Mumbai Football Arena. Mumbai City FC took four shots in quick succession but could not get the much needed opener.

57' GOAL!!!

Mumbai City get their first goal of the evening. Very, very crucial moment in the game for Mumbai this. Jon Toral gets the opportunity via a corner and he slots the ball into the bottom left side of the post. His first goal for Mumbai City and it has come at an important stage.

65' Chance missed for Mumbai City. Tiri's header was really, really close but just a bit high from the goalpost.

70' It was a difficult angle for Lallianzuala Chhangte but he manages to get a shot on the right side of the goalpost. But it is blocked.

87' We are into the endgame now. A loss would be a bad result for Mumbai City's play-off hopes. They would at least want to salvage a draw here to get a point. Mohun Bagan defence had stood up well so far. Can the Mariners keep it up and hit Mumbai City hard?

89' GOAL!!!

Nathan Rodrigues with a goal! What a game this is turning out to be. Just when it seemed, the game was slipping out of Mumbai City's hands, here comes Rodrigues to level the score. What a time to score. Mumbai will have the momentum on their side now. Will they go for the win? They have to if they want to seal play-off berth.

Mumbai City FC 2-2 Mohun Bagan At Full-Time!!!

A brilliant game of football. Both teams share a point and Mumbai City FC would be proud of this result. 58 minutes into the game, they were reduced to 10 men with Vikram Partap Singh Sandhu sent back after double yellow. The Islanders had just scored their first goal at that point and were still trailing 1-2 but they kept making chances. And finally in the 89th minute, Nathan Rodrigues became the hero with the equaliser.

The draw takes Mumbai City FC on the verge of play-offs. Though not yet confirmed but very unlikely that they would miss out now. Mohun Bagan finally end their winning run with a draw.

Kerala Blasters are up against Jamshedpur FC with their hopes of making it to the play-offs still hanging on a thread. Follow the game LIVE HERE.
