37' Zokora and Borges have been rock solid in the midfield, with either player giving little to no room for the visitors to string a few passes in front of the 18-yard-box. It will need a blunder for City to have a crack at Gomes' goal, by the looks of things. 34' Zokora has a war of words with City coach Guimaraes, and the duo is separated by match officials and Leo Costa. Perhaps, the duo needs to be reminded of Materazzi's suspension. 33' City are now finding stringing passes together difficult, with United's defending players intercepting even before the ball reaches City's dangerous men. 31' Back to back chances for United as Narzay sends in a delicious cross into the penalty box only for ISL top-scorer Alvaro to head the ball over the bar. 30' Katsumi sets up Alvaro, who has a cracker of a shot on goal, but Albino's reflex ensures the score remains 0-0. 29' Leo Costa sends in a cross into the penalty area after receiving a pass from Forlan from the halfway line. United concede a corner kick, which results in Ralte having a crack at goal. Gomes makes an easy save. 26' Alfaro goes down in the penalty area, with Goian seemingly bringing him down, but the referee chooses not to stop play for once. Score is still 0-0.26' Alfaro goes down in the penalty area, with Goian seemingly bringing him down, but the referee chooses not to stop play for once. Score is still 0-0. 22' Nine fouls have hitherto been committed, with Leo Costa making the ninth after bringing down United defender Alves in United's half.Terrific reactions by @MumbaiCityFC's Albino Gomes, has ensured the score remains at 0-0. #NEUvMUM #LetsFootball pic.twitter.com/IV6Ozrqg0K

14' Chettri brings down Jacky as the former concedes a free-kick in a dangerous position. Forlan's curling free-kick only results in a goal-kick, though. 13' Forlan misplaces his second pass in 11 minutes but is quick to point fingers at his teammates. Perhaps, the 2010 FIFA World Cup Golden Boot winner should tone down. Chat conversation end 11' The crowd cheers at the top of their voices every time United steal possession, but the men in white are unable to get past the tightly-knit City midfield, with Gerson and Vadocz proving impermeable. 9' United are in no rush as they choose to pass sideways, with City having all eleven men in their defending hall. Narzay's patience gets the better out of him as hr hoofs the ball up to no one. 7' Forlan finds Jacky, who makes a superb overlapping run with a perfectly-weighted through ball; however, despite having only an onrushing Gomes to beat, the Indian attacker fails to convert the first proper chance of the game. 5' Katsumi grounds Gerson, and Forlan steps up to take the resulting free-kick, with white and blue shirts gathering near the edge of the penalty area. Forlan, however, sends the ball to a goal-kick. 4' The game has seen more interceptions than passes, with either team looking unwilling to let the opposition build momentum. 2' Forlan steals possession in the opposition half, but his pass only finds a white shirt. The Uruguayan yells at centre-forward Norde, who shrugs off the accusations. 1' City have an ambitious shot right after kickoff, but Gomes has no trouble collecting the ball. NorthEast United supporters are easily one of the most ardent bunches in the division. Having arrived in huge numbers, they will definitely prove a factor in United's play. 6:40 pm Teams sheet are out NorthEast United: Nirmal Chettri, Didier Zokora(C), Emiliano Alfaro, Katsumi Yusa, Rowllin Borges, Sumeet Passi, Robin Gurung, Holicharan Narzary, Wellington Gomes(GK), Gustavo Lazzaretti, Mailson Alves. Mumbai City: Aiborlang Khongjee, Gerson Vieira, Anwar Ali, Krisztián Vadócz, Léo Costa, Diego Forlán(C), Jackichand Singh, Sony Norde, Lucian Goian, Lalhmangaihsanga Ralte, Albino Gomes(GK) 6:35 pm Despite a strong start to the campaign, United now find themselves in the bottom half of the Indian Super League table having mustered only 10 points in seven outings. On the other hand, consistency has been an issue for City although they now sit third in the standings. With every result proving crucial, either team will strive to claim all three points. 6:30 pm Welcome to Khel Now's live text commentary of the Mumbai City versus NorthEast United game. Our correspondent Praveen R. Paramasivam will take you through what will likely be a humdinger of a game.
