The Islanders had just four points after four matches this season and since then, have collected 17 points in seven matches.

Many of these points can be attributed to Mumbai's energetic forwards who bomb forward with full pace and intensity.

Arnold Issoko was declared the 'Hero of the match' for his fantastic performance in which he created 3 major chances in the first half, one of which was converted by Sougou.

When, the away side went down to 10 men, it was expected that they would drop back and defend with all their might but Costa's men surprised us with some interesting attacks threatening the Bengaluru defense.

Sougou now has five goals and Issoko has four assists in this season with Rafael Bastos, Paulo Machado and Raynier Fernandes supporting them ably to create more and more chances.
