Had Mumbai lost tonight, it would have been their third in four games which would not have been a great position to be in so early in the tournament. Mumbai weren't great tonight. Far from it. They were pedestrian for large parts of the match and lacked the creativity to trouble Kerala.

However, in Balwant Singh, Mumbai City have a striker who sniffs a goal from two miles away. When his side broke on the counter, he was positioned on the halfway line. Singh ran the distance and was duly rewarded for his efforts.

He scored a typical striker's goal and instilled faith in Mumbai's faithful. This side refuses to throw in the towel, a trait that could help them deep into the competition.
