The final result did not depict the real story of the match as Mumbai City FC edged out Chennaiyin FC 2-1 in an Indian Super League (ISL) 2020-21 clash at the GMC Stadium in Bambolim on Wednesday. It was a lucky escape for the Islanders as poor refereeing decisions played a huge role in their fourth consecutive win of the season.
Chennaiyin FC came with a proper game plan, pressing with intensity upfront and stifling Mumbai City's efforts to pass out from the back. Sergio Lobera's side, which loves to be on the ball and orchestrate quick transitions, were left without time and space to do so with regularity.
