Realising that nothing less than a win would help them, Mumbai City FC coach, Alexandre Guimaraes surprised everyone with his starting 11 tonight.

After pinning his hopes on Balwant Singh and being disappointed time after time, he finally decided to bench the forward and decided to play the match with an out and out striker.

Thiago Santos who has been impressive at large but struggling for form in recent times was also reduced to the bench. Rafa Jorda started tonight despite not being in the thick of things this season.

Mumbai needed to switch things up as they were getting far too predictable. The coach took the risk and it paid off, even benching his captain, Lucian Goian.
