The 4-0 scoreline was flattering to Mumbai City.

Yet again, at home, they didn't exactly set the tempo rolling with their play.

All four of their goals were gifts from the Dynamos' defence, a reflection of that team's struggles at the moment. This scoreline represented the most goals scored by Mumbai this season which says a lot about how poor the Dynamos' defence was.

The first goal came after Delhi's keeper brought Everton Santos down in the box to give away a penalty. Emana made a hash of his penalty by trying to be too clever, but thankfully for them, the rebound off the post fell to their captain Lucian Goian. It still needed the Delhi keeper's intervention though as it was his touch that took the ball into the net. It was quite the comedy of errors all around. That should be an own goal.

As mentioned earlier, after having the chances to come back, they left Santos free in the box from a corner to double Mumbai's lead. The third was another misjudgement from the keeper as he realised very late that Santos header was going in. And for the fourth, Balwant was left totally free despite three defenders around him, and he completely miscued his kick, aiming right corner, but the ball going to the left thanks to his miskick.

Against ATK, Mumbai were outplayed, so too against Chennaiyin despite them winning that one. They will have to up their game against the better sides.
