In the third quarter-final of the Durand Cup 2022, Mumbai City FC will lock horns with Chennaiyin FC at the Vivekananda Yuba Bharati Krirangan in Kolkata on Sunday, September 11.
The Islanders have been one of the most in-form teams in the tournament, making their way into the knockouts after topping Group B. Des Buckingham's men started their Durand Cup journey with a 4-1 victory over the Indian Navy before thumping Rajasthan United 5-1. However, they were soon held to a 1-1 draw by ATK Mohun Bagan and also suffered a 4-3 loss at the hands of East Bengal.
Meanwhile, Chennaiyin FC had a rough start to the tournament with a 2-2 draw against the Army Red before losing 3-1 to Hyderabad FC. However, the Marina Machans made a super turnaround to beat TRAU FC 4-1 in a must-win encounter.
Mumbai will receive a massive boost with both Mourtada Fall and Rowlin Borges returning to the squad ahead of the all-important fixture.
