#3 Rowilson and Priyant miscommunication gifts Mumbai an equaliser

There was something very off-putting about Churchill Brothers’ first half performance. After taking a lead in the fourth minute, for some reason, they completely lost their attacking potency.

The home side sat back and let Mumbai dictate proceedings and eventually paid the price for it. An aimless aerial ball headed towards Rowilson. The centre-back had his back towards the ball and couldn’t make up his mind in time.

As a result, his weak header fell onto Victorino’s path and he pounced upon the loose ball to place it into an open net. The keeper was in no man’s land, the lack of clarity between the centre back and keeper, Priyant, gifted Mumbai an equaliser that seemed inevitable sooner or later.

You would have to wonder why Churchill took the foot off the pedal despite no hairpin turn in sight.
