Modou Sougou netted a brace as Mumbai City climbed back into the top four with a 2-1 win against Hyderabad FC on Sunday at the Mumbai Football Arena.
There was an early sign of danger for Hyderabad when Diego Carlos beat his marker down the left flank and forced a save off the keeper seconds into the game. The visitors' fears came true as Mumbai City took the lead in the sixth minute.
Subhasish Bose intercepted a pass and fed the ball to Carlos. The Brazilian winger took the ball towards the byline and provided a cut-back for Modou Sougou in the centre of the box who slammed home his first goal of the season.
