Bengaluru FC displayed a rock-solid defensive show in the first leg of the semi-final match against the best-attacking side of this season’s Indian Super League- Mumbai City FC.
Bengaluru’s defence, led by Sandesh Jhingan and Aleksandar Jovanovic, looked simply impeccable as they managed to keep a clean sheet against an upbeat Mumbai City side. Bengaluru’s Talismanic Indian striker Sunil Chhetri scored the solitary goal of the fixture to earn a much-needed advantage for his side ahead of the reverse leg fixture. Simon Grayson’s men will now look to replicate a similar show to thwart Mumbai City in the second leg of the semi-final slated to be played at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru.
The defeat against Bengaluru was just the third loss of the season for Mumbai City. The League Shield champions looked absolutely pale in front of the goal during the first leg of the semi-final tie.
Bengaluru FC have been just one of the two teams to overpower Mumbai City in this season’s Indian Super League. So, head coach Simon Grayson knows precisely what has to be done to keep Mumbai City at bay.
