#2 Mumbai City struggle to keep up with EB's intensity
Ad
Tonight's Super Cup clash was a matchup between the ISL's 7th best team and the I-League's 4th placed outfit. While Mumbai have always been a defensive side, they were put to the test by East Bengal tonight.

Al -Amna, Cavin Lobo and Katsumi Yusa ran riot in the middle of the park for EB and pinned Mumbai deep into their own half. The likes of Lucian Goian, Sanju Pradhan and Raju Gaekwad had a torrid time in keeping up with the wave after wave of attacks that East Bengal mounted.
When Mumbai did have the ball, they did well to break dangerously on the counter. On the whole, though, it was EB who dominated proceedings, especially in the first half. Their players were quicker and their passes were far more incisive.
