With the crowd roaring in the Mumbai Football Arena, it was the ‘Men of Steel’ that stole the show with their intense attacking play and finesse with the ball. Struck in the early quarter of the match, Mumbai City FC didn’t give up and tried to get back into the game trying to make amends for their mistakes.

They had a couple of chances but failed to capitalise on them in the first half. The second half, however, saw a better Mumbai side. But even though they managed to break the Jamshedpur defence, they couldn’t get on the score sheet. Mumbai were defensively at their best as they managed to hold off the rivals before they could kill the game.
