At the end of 90 minutes and a couple more, Jamshedpur's players would be wondering what more could they have done to secure the win. If the first half was exciting, the second was equally enthralling as the home side continued to launch wave after wave of attack despite being in the lead.

But once again, Mumbai rose from the dead to equalize courtesy another fine finish from Thiago Santos. Having scored just two goals in seven games prior to tonight, Steve Coppell's men scored two more in two minutes, thus putting all doubts about their attacking ability to rest.

Alexandre Guimarães is known to get the best out of his players. Mumbai's manager would have had to dig deep at halftime to ensure his side didn't succumb to the constant pressure. The visitors will happily leave Jamshedpur with a draw given the circumstances.
