Mumbai's Costa Rican manager decided to bring returning Chhetri to the starting lineup, but he refused to pick goalkeeper Amrinder Singh. The 59-year old chose to stick with Albino Gomes in goal, and it might not be wrong to say that he paid the price for it.
It was a mistake from Gomes that led to the only goal of the night. The 22-year old was hardly tested in the whole match, but he made a blunder by failing to hold to on to an easy cross in the final minutes of the game. The young Indian goalkeeper came off his line to claim a cross from Pune defender Narayan Das and ended up spilling it. Lyngdoh, who was there at the right place, slammed the ball it into the net. It was the mistake from Gomes that turned the game in Pune's way.
Mumbai manager Guimaraes might now be regretting his decision of not playing Amrinder in goal. He will have realised that there is no point in keeping your best goalkeeper as a substitute.
