A silly foul right at the end allowed Hyderabad FC, who did not play well for most of the game, to hold Mumbai City on Friday. It was an opportunity thrown away by the Islanders.
A win would have taken Mumbai City to the fourth spot once again - a position that they relinquished to a resurgent Odisha FC weeks ago. Instead of going two points clear of Odisha, Pratik Chaudhari's lapse in concentration allowed Marko Stankovic to score from the spot and give his team a point.
Hyderabad were playing for pride, they have no realistic chance of getting into the playoffs.
