"The focus was on Amay before the second half and it was a difficult situation. But we did well to maintain our focus and we worked hard. We needed to win for Amay and did that today."

"The most important thing for me is to win all trophies. I had a very good staff, very good players and I';m very proud of this. Maybe the ost special one is the last shield because we won it for our work entire the season. I think two seasons this season is amazing and I'm very happy."

"Hopefully as soon as possible, we can celebrate together with the fans. This trophy is for you!"

9:45 PM: David Williams: "I've never been in a losing final. We felt like we had them ont he ropes majority of the game. They were tired, we were tired too but we just couldn't take care of our chances. Congratulations to Mumbai. If next season they are out, we have to do one better."

"I can't think about anything right now. Have to discuss my future with my family and think about getting back. We have to just calm down today and talk about this defeat tomorrow."

9:42 PM: Bipin Singh: "I'm feeling amazing. It feels memorable scoring the winning goal. It's an incredible feeling. Lobera only told me to keep hold of the ball and it didn't matter if I missed, but keep going to score."

Amrinder Singh: "Bipin has performed so well throughout the season and deserves it. He has done so well adapting to the coach's plan and he has stuck to his guts. He's got his goal today because he always works extremely hard."

9:40 PM: Adam Le Fondre: "Hopefully Amay is fine and this one is for me. This was just about winning today. They came with a high press and troubled us early on. But we stuck to our style and dominated the game. It was a fantastic way to end the game tonight.

"I came here for trophies and my own trophy goal continues. I've won 5 trophies int he last 3 years and that's great! We stuck together as a group and got the right result here tonight."

9:36 PM: Bartomolew Ogbeche: "I give my thanks to god for this moment. I'm very happy and this hasn't sunk in yet. I'm extremely proud of the whole team. It wasn't a goal, I tried to stop him from stealing the ball off me. I was confident and that was my best assist of the season for me!

"We are humans so we are touched by Amay's injury. We hope he's fine. We tried to use that to lift us up. We needed to win this for Amay Ranawade. We took some time to turn our focus around and we did good. ATKMB are a difficult team to play agianst but we did not let go of our composure and got the win. We are just happy with the win.

"Also one more thing. Soem time ago it was Mumbai Indians and now it's Mumbai City. Mumbai rules India!"

9:30 PM It looked like the game would be dragging into extra-time before a moment of disaster for Arindam and clever anticipation from Ogbeche changed all that. Bipin caps off an incredible season with a fitting goal after what was a brilliant performance from the young winger. This is the first time Antonio Habas has lost an ISL final and the Green & Maroon fans will be disappointed at the way their team lost this one. Mumbai players are absolutely delighted with joy, hugging each other and celebrating with each other. Sergio Lobera looks a delighted man and he deserves it all for perfectly implementing his own plans, while silly mistakes from ATKMB players definitely helped! Post-match reactions and award ceremony in a bit.

90+4' Marcelinho almost! The playmaker goes past a few players and takes a shot from an awkward angle but it is saved. The ball is cleared and MUMBAI CITY ARE ISL 2020/21 CHAMPIONS!

90+1' Four minutes of added time for ATKMB to salvage something here. Bipin is booked for taking off his shirt in shi celebration. Marcelinho was brought on for Javi after the goal too.

90' GOOALLLL! BIPIN SCORESS! A howler from Arindam started it all when the ATKMB goalkeeper failed to clear a ball and botched a touch with his chest inside the box. Ogbeche steals it off him and tricks past two players before finding an onrushing Bipin, who powers the ball past the hapless Jhingan in the goal. Late drama! 2-1!

88' Habas is cutting a really animated figure on the touchline as he tries to motivate his lads into scoring a late winner. He doesn't seem eager to go into extra time against this Mumbai side.

85' ATKMB also make a substitution, with Lenny Rodrigues being taken off for Jayesh Rane. Tiri is then booked for a reckless sliding tackle to take out Ogbeche.

83' Mumbai make their third substitution of the game, with Hugo Boumous going off for Goddard.

82' A sense of real sloppiness seems to have set into the game. Mumbai are really going for it now and Lobera is seen giving Cy Goddard some pep talk on the touchline.

79' Roy Krishna has scored 12 goals in the second half this season for the Mariners. Can he win them the ISL title in normal time today?

76' The players go to the sidelines for the second water break of the game. The game is getting a bit of cagey now and only one moment of magic is enough to settle the tie now.

74' Manvir is doing all the running for the Mariners now and takes the ball forward quite a bit from midfield, before Bipin's interception sends the ball out for a corner.

72' WHAT A SAVE AMRINDER! Manvir does brilliantly to get past players on the right flank and then drift inwards, as his pass finds Javi who takes an emphatic shot that is tipped onto the bar and out by Amrinder.

71' Mumbai are bringing in the big guns! Bartomolew Ogbeche comes on for Le Fondre, who has put in a pretty efficient performance to end his solid campaign.

69' There seems to be some tiredness setting in among the ATKMB players now. Antonio Habas is yet to make a substitution but might be forced into making a few now.

66' ATKMB have scored 24 goals in the second half this season in the ISL, the most for any team. Can they get another one? They almost do as Hernandez is sent through the left flank but his weak shot goes well wide.

65' Bit of an awkward moment for Amrinder, who has to get the ball out as his shoelaces have come untied. ATKMB players are not pleased with this stoppage.

63' An ATKMB coach is booked for showing their frustrations on the sideline. The ball did hit a Mumbai City player, but the fact that Krishna was in an offside position and blocking the eyesight of Amrinder is the reason why the goal was disallowed.

61' GOAL DISALLOWED! Hernandez flicks in a great cross that initially goes past all the players before taking a flick and dipping into the goal. It's given offside because of Roy Krishna, but the Mariners' striker is incensed and convinced that it hit a Mumbai player. Even after a recheck, the goal is disallowed due to Krishna's offside position.

60' Vignesh Dakshinamurthy gets booked for a rough foul on Williams. Promising free-kick situation for the Mariners.

58' WHAT A MISS FROM BOUMOUS! Mumbai get on a 3v2 situation on the attack and Boumous finds Le Fondre on the box. The striker's shot is weak but Arindam parries it straight to Boumous, who skies his shot over from open range. Poor miss.

56' Good save from Arindam. Santana takes the free-kick and tries whipping it past Arindam's left-hand side post, but the ATKMB goalie does well to parry it away.

55' Intrestingly so far, ATKMB have taken 10 shots so far and only had 2 on target. Mumbai have 5 shots and had 3 on target. Meanwhile, Pritam Kotal is booked for a bad challenge to foul Bipin outside the box.

53' OH! Raynier shows some lovely skills to tip-toe his way past a few players before taking a shot from just outside the box that is initially fumbled by Arindam but eventually held onto.

52' Amey Ranawade is under medical care and being assessed by the doctors right now after being taken to a hospital.

49' Carl McHugh receives a yellow card for cynically bringing down Boumous around the halfway line and denying him a counter-attacking chance for the Islanders.

48' A decent counter-attack from ATK Mohun Bagan sees the ball played to Krishna on the left flank. He dips a ball into the middle, which is brought down by Manvir to Lenny - who's shot is deflected wide for a corner.

47' Manvir gets the ball outside the box and drifts into the middle. He takes the ball onto the right foot and attempts a curler that goes wide of the post.

46' The second half starts! Mohamed Rakip has come on for the injured Amey Ranawade as the Mariners attack from left to right now.

HALF-TIME ANALYSIS: A really entertaining half of football which actually started with ATK Mohun Bagan surprising Mumbai City with their eagerness to score and high-pressing style. The Islanders will feel undone by a potential penalty not given on Bipin being pulled down by Kotal early on and minutes after that, Krishna stole the ball from Jahouh to set up Williams' powerful opener. After that, Mumbai got their groove back and started to attack with more precision and pace. Their equalizer, however, was a touch of luck when a moment of bad communication between Tiri and Arindam saw the defender head the ball into his own half. Mumbai had a few great chances after that, while Javi also missed some good chances for the Mariners. The half ended on a somber fashion with Ranawade's injury, but all is to play for in the second half. We will be back in a few minutes, folks!

45+10' Play was resumed for 10 seconds before the referee blew the half-time whistle. Ranawade has been taken to the hospital after what seemed a horrible concussion or head injury. A rather sad end to what was otherwise a great half of football!

45+9' Ranawade doesn't seem that eager to go away from the game knowing the importance of the game. But being a nasty head injury he is unlikely to stay on. Sergio Lobera is an agitated figure on the sidelines and agrees with Antonio Habas that the half-time whistle should be blown!

45+7' Ranawade seems to be back on his feet after being down for a long time. He is now expected to get on the ambulance to hospital for further treatment.

45+5' The play is still stopped and the referee has not blown the half-time whistle yet. Medical personnel are still tending to the injured stars and all the players can do is hope for the best.

45+4' All the players on the pitch look to be shocked by what they've witnessed. Manvir and Vignesh have been caught praying. A very disturbing close to a thrilling half of football.

45+3' A real nasty clash on the left-wing and there's real concern among the players and staff. Ranawade and Subhashish got into a clash and some serious damage seems to have been done to the Mumbai City man. An ambulance has been brought on and the players look absolutely distressed.

45+1' Krishna gets to the byline on the left wing and dribbles past Fall and Ranawade with ease to drive into the box, but his shot from a difficult angle hits the sidenetting.

45' 3 minutes of added time is announced. Can any of the teams get into the lead before half-time?

43' Lenny does well to intercept the ball inside the box, but his left-footed shot goes horribly wrong - with his attempt going well wide of the mark.

41' Boumous is trying his best to influence more attacks and gets some space to do so, allowing him to send in a perfect through ball to send Amey Ranawade clear inside the box, but the right-back can't cling onto his pass.

39' Roy Krishna has been the fastest player on the pitch so far, recording a 39.3 KMPH top speed in the first half.

37' Bipin at the thick of things again, this time on the left-wing. He gets some space and sends in a cross which Arindam decides to punch away than hold onto. Some questionable goalkeeping but bailed out by his teammates.

36' Close! Le Fondre receives the ball and moves through the right wing. He sends in a whipped cross that barely misses a charging Bipin, with Arindam hurriedly parrying it away.

33' Tiri's own goal seems to have taken out a lot of the confidence from ATK Mohun Bagan. The Mariners are, although, looking to regain their lead again and trying to gain more of the possession now.

30' CLOSE! Mumbai almost get another one! Raynier moves the ball down the right and sends in an inviting low cross, which Le Fondre dummies to set a shot up for Boumous - who sees his whipped attempt parried out by Arindam. Thrilling sequence before the first drinks break.

29' GOALL! Nightmare at the back for ATKMB. A long ball is floated into the box by Jahouh towards Bipin, which Tiri tries to clear but instead powers past his goalkeeper to score an own-goal. 1-1!

27' The Islanders seem to have taken control of the game here. They're trying to dominate the possession but unable to break the Mariners' shape yet. Le Fondre gets some space outside the box but his weak shot is easily saved by Arindam Bhattacharya.

24' Mumbai look intent on creating the bulk of their chances down the left-flank. Bipin is sent through in some space on the left, but his cross goes well outside.

21' ATK Mohun Bagan are undefeated this season after scoring the first goal. In 15 games, they've won 12 games and drawn 3. Mumbai have a bit of a mountain to climb here.

20' Mumbai looked a bit rattled by that. Hernan Santana picks up a yellow card for a reckless challenge by bringing down McHugh around the halfway line.

18' GOALLL! WILLIAMS SCORES! Mumbai City fail to play the ball out of the defence and Jahough is robbed off possession outside the box by a charging Krishna, who intercepts the ball to Williams inside the box and the Aussie striker powers the ball through Amrinder's hands. 1-0!

16' CLOSE! Krishna eases past Fall to get into the box before taking a shot from an awkward angle that is parried out by Amrinder Singh, but the rebound attempt from Hernandez goes disappointingly wide from yards out.

15' Mumbai get their first set-piece of the game, a few yards away from the halfway line. Jahouh pumps a cross in for Mourtada Fall, but Jhingan does well to clear it.

12' HERNANDEZ HITS THE POST! Javi Hernandez gets a free-kick 30 yards out from goal but takes it nonetheless, with his whipped attempt hitting the outside of the post and going out!

11' Penalty claim from Mumbai! Boumous works the ball into the box to Le Fondre, who backheels it to send Bipin Singh through on goal inside the box and the winger goes down after seemingly being held back by Pritam Kotal. Referee waves it away. No penalty!

8' First real chance for Mumbai City. Raynier Fernandes moves the ball into the box to Adam Le Fondre, who tips it back to him inside the area but Raynier scuffs his shot wide from a promising position.

6' The Mariners are dominating the lions share of the early possession and trying to force the issue. Williams takes another ambitious volley-attempt from outside the box which goes well wide.

4' Both teams look intent on getting an early goal and ATKMB are pressing Mumbai high up the field. Amrinder Singh is closed down quickly and botches his clearance straight to Javi Hernandez outside the box, with the Spaniard being denied a shot by a perfect clearance by Ahmed Jahouh.

2' Early foul from Carl McHugh, who absolutely clatters Hugo Boumous at the half-way line. Mumbai move the ball forward but lose it when Sandesh Jhingan's clearance went straight to David Williams. The Australian tries a spectacular shot from the half-way line, only to see his shot go wide.

1' KICKOFF! Mumbai City FC start the game and will be attacking from the left to right.

7:25 PM: Both teams are now making their way onto the field! We will have the national anthem play first followed by the coin-toss. Kick-off is moments away!

Best group of Indian players Sergio Lobera has worked with?

"I am very happy about the level of Indian players we have in our squad. It’s impossible to win trophies, to win the league, finish at the top of the table without very good level in Indian players. The foreign players, you know it’s an important role in the squad."

"But, if you don’t have very good Indian players it’s impossible to win trophies. You can win games, but it’s impossible to finish at the top of the table or to reach the finals. I am very happy with the level of my Indian players, with their improvement."

Antonio Habas on feelings for final & approach

I feel like the last matches against Mumbai have been settled in small details. In the first match, we had the opportunity to score before Mumbai and after that they scored goal and won it. In the second match, there were a few accidental goals, as we don’t normally concede in set-pieces. I feel we will go with a different style against Mumbai and I’m confident that my team can win.”
