Jorge Costa lined up a midfield trio of Milan Singh, Paulo Machado, and Raynier Fernandes which controlled for most parts of the game. It was a tough challenge to face the likes of Ahmed Jahouh and Lenny Rodriguez, but they succeeded by doing the defensive and offensive job without any muddle.

During the first, Goa midfielder Ahmed Jahouh started the game poorly and lasted just forty minutes on the pitch. He was quickly replaced by Edu Bedia who also lacked imagination to break down this midfield.

Paulo, Milan, and Raynier might not be one of the best combinations in the league, but their outstanding performance against the best midfield department shows their real capability. They were creative in their game and did enough to keep the ball moving quickly. Jorge Costa will happy with the intention and performance showed by Mumbai City FC after totally getting dismantled in the first leg at Mumbai.
