For a period of about 15 minutes between the 65th and 80th minute, Mumbai City really threw everything at Pune City as they went in search of the equalizer.

But the goal remained elusive. Vishal Kaith in the Pune goal was superb, making plenty of crucial saves to deny the hosts.

Mumbai City were anaemic in the first half, but one Sanju Pradhan effort from long range required Kaith's intervention. In the second half, he made two big saves to deny Balwant Singh.

In the 70th minute, a Balwant shot deflected off Pune defender Gurtej Singh, making it a tricky save. But Kaith was alert and got down to his left to make the save at the near post. Two minutes later there he was again; this time the chance was a better one as Echille Amana squared a lovely ball to Balwant inside the box, but the India striker couldn't get enough power behind it. It still required a good save from Kaith.
