NorthEast United FC (NEUFC) will take on Mumbai City FC (MCFC) in Match 16 of the Hero Super Cup 2023 on Saturday, April 15. The Manjeri Payyanad Stadium in Kerala will host the Super Cup 2023 encounter between the two Indian Super League (ISL) clubs.
Both teams are competing in Group D of the competition alongside Chennaiyin FC and Churchill Brothers SC.
NEUFC lost their Hero Super Cup 2023 opening encounter against Chennaiyin FC 4-2. They will look to bounce back against MCFC, who are playing in the competition with an all-Indian squad.
Meanwhile, Mumbai City FC will be riding high on confidence, having defeated Churchill Brothers SC 2-1 during their previous outing. While the Goan side took the lead early in that game, Mehtab Singh found the back of the net in the 27th minute to level the scores.
Indian winger Lallianzuala Chhangte scored a goal in stoppage time (90+3rd minute) to help MCFC clinch the victory and take all three points.
