Brandon Fernandes opened the scoring for Mumbai City FC in the 8th minute, giving them an early lead. However, as the match progressed, it became clear that East Bengal had more in store. After halftime, they made three crucial substitutions that shifted the momentum in their favor.

Youssef Ezzejjari equalized for East Bengal with a penalty in the 56th minute. The atmosphere changed dramatically as fans sensed a shift. Just 15 minutes later, Nandha Kumar scored the winning goal, sealing a remarkable turnaround.

With this victory, East Bengal FC moved to the top of the table with 21 points from 10 matches. Meanwhile, Mumbai City FC fell to fifth place with 19 points from 11 matches. This defeat marked their first home loss of the season — not an ideal scenario for a team aiming for championship glory.

The match also featured a key defensive performance from Kevin Leonel Sibille, who was named Player of the Match for his contributions. His efforts were vital in maintaining East Bengal’s lead after they took control of the game.

Interestingly, Mumbai City had a goal ruled out for offside in the 65th minute, which could have changed the game’s dynamics yet again. They even struck the post during stoppage time through Gyamar Nikum’s header, but luck was not on their side.

The next challenge for Mumbai City FC will be against Mohammedan SC on May 15. They will need to regroup quickly if they hope to bounce back from this setback.
