Mumbai City FC Steal Home Team’s Thunder with Great 2nd-Half Show to Win ISL Championship

Mumbai City FC stole the home team’s thunder with a remarkable second-half show to clinch the ISL championship title in a thrilling 3-1 victory over Mohun Bagan at the Salt Lake Stadium.

The hero of the night was Mumbai’s No. 7, Lallianzuala Chhangte, whose electrifying performance left the crowd favorites Mohun Bagan reeling. Despite not finding the back of the net himself, Chhangte’s acceleration, vision, and endless determination were too much for the home team to handle.

Mumbai City started the game with great intensity, with Chhangte hitting the woodwork twice in the first half. However, it was Mohun Bagan who took the lead just before halftime through Jason Cummings. But Mumbai City didn’t let the setback deter them, as Jorge Pereyra Diaz equalized in the 53rd minute.

Despite losing key players to injury, Mumbai City’s substitutes Bipin Singh and Jakub Vojtus stepped up to the plate, scoring crucial goals in the 81st and 95th minute respectively to secure the victory.

The result not only crowned Mumbai City FC as the ISL champions but also raised questions about Antonio Lopez Habas’s strategy for Mohun Bagan. The Shield winners lacked their usual creativity and were unable to match Mumbai City’s relentless pressure.

In the end, it was Mumbai City FC who emerged victorious, with Chhangte leading the charge and stealing the home team’s thunder with a stellar second-half performance. The packed stands fell silent as Mumbai celebrated their well-deserved triumph, leaving Mohun Bagan and their fans heartbroken.
