But, they were not able to convert chances which came back to haunt them after utter dominance early on in the game. This was poor game management from Jorge Costa to drive out the energy of several players in the squad after a good early spell.

Edu Badia, Jackichand Singh, Brandon Fernandes and Ferran Corominas were walking through the Mumbai City defence for most parts of the game and hit them on counter-attack by creating chances for fun.
