In a fierce showdown at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Mumbai City FC displayed their dominance over Chennaiyin FC, clinching a convincing 2-0 victory in the Indian Super League 2023-24 encounter. The match was characterized by well-executed tactics and missed chances, with Mumbai City FC’s substitute, Bipin Singh, emerging as the standout performer with two crucial goals.

The game commenced with both sides eager to make an impact on the field. Mumbai City FC initiated an offensive move in the 5th minute as Vikram Partap Singh’s header narrowly missed the mark after Rahul Bheke’s cross set up the opportunity. Chennaiyin FC responded promptly in the 6th minute, with Rahim Ali’s shot from the left side failing to find the target.

The intensity carried into the second half, with Vikram Partap Singh and Lallianzuala Chhangte testing Chennaiyin FC’s defense with their attempts on goal.

However, the turning point arrived in the 53rd minute when Thaer Krouma was fouled in the penalty area, leading to a spot-kick for Mumbai City FC. Unfortunately, Lallianzuala Chhangte missed the chance, hitting the ball just over the crossbar.

With the match finely poised, Bipin Singh entered the field as a substitute and made an immediate impact, breaking the deadlock in the 71st minute with a well-taken goal. The winger then sealed Mumbai City FC’s victory in added time, confidently slotting the ball into the bottom corner to secure a 2-0 win.

The result sees Mumbai City FC draw level on points with Odisha FC at the top of the table, although goal difference keeps Odisha FC in the lead.
