Captain Diego Forlan led from the front for Mumbai City FC as the hosts defeated NorthEast United FC 1-0 in Hero Indian Super League clash at the Mumbai Football Arena, Andheri, Mumbai, on Friday…
NorthEast United were comfortably perched at the top of the table with two successive victories but were denied a rare hat-trick of wins after marquee player Diego Forlan scored the only goal of the match in the 55th minute from a penalty. Mumbai City now share the top spot with NorthEast United but have a match in hand. With matches in quick succession, NorthEast United coach Nelo Vingada needed to do some reshuffling with the starting eleven as he chose to start with marquee Didier Zokoro for the first time and also gave the nod for the likes of Seityasen Singh and Argentinean striker Nicolas Velez. Mumbai City coach Alexandre Guimaraes kept his faith in the same squad that logged full points in the opener. The teams were cagey at the start and took time to gauge each other’s strengths but on the basis of the first 45 minutes it can be safely said that NorthEast enjoyed the upperhand, or at least had the better chances.DIEGO FORLAN GOAL WHICH MADE ALL DIFFERENCE.@MumbaiCityFC's @DiegoForlan7 opens the scoring on the night by slotting home a penalty! #MUMvNEU #HeroISL #LetsFootball pic.twitter.com/npS1ZKojXQ
