Mourtada Fall, Bipin Singh, and Bartholomew Ogbeche got on the scoresheet for Mumbai City FC.
Bengaluru FC are known for their goalscoring threat from dead-ball situations. However, Mumbai City FC gave them a taste of their own medicine on Tuesday.
In the 9th minute, Hernan Santana flicked a header off Bipin Singh’s corner-kick and Fall made no mistake, guiding the ball into the back of the net with a stooping header.
In the 84th minute, Bartholomew Ogbeche connected with Cy Goddard’s corner kick and diverted the ball into the top corner with another header.
Speaking about the two goals, Mumbai City FC’s coach Sergio Lobera said:
Ahmed Jahouh needs to avoid red cards: Mumbai City FC coach Sergio Lobera
Mumbai City FC midfielder Ahmed Jahouh received his second red card this season after committing two unnecessary fouls against Bengaluru FC. A flailing arm on Kristian Opseth and a high foot challenge on Dimas Delgado resulted in Jahouh seeing two yellow cards.
Speaking on Jahouh’s disciplinary record, Lobera said:
Mandar Rao Dessai and Bipin Singh combined well to score Mumbai City FC’s second goal. Mandar delivered a low cross from the left flank and, Bipin cut through Juanan and Rahul Bheke to power the ball home with his first touch.
Lobera praised the individual abilities of these two players but, emphasized that the victory was a result of a team effort.
Their next ISL 2020-21 fixture will see Mumbai City face ATK Mohun Bagan on January 11, in a top of the table clash.
