Lallianzuala Chhangte made an excellent assist before scoring the winner as Mumbai City came up 2-1 winners of Odisha FC in the Indian Super League at the Mumbai Football Arena on Monday.
The win put Mumbai City closer to defending their League Shield crown – awarded to the winners of the group stage of the ISL season. Odisha FC’s hopes for winning the title however, ended with the loss.
Mumbai City started the match as the league leaders with 44 points while Odisha FC was in third position with 39.
It took only 22 minutes for the hosts to take the lead. Chhangte took control of possession on the right flank and move infield before sharply cutting back and throwing off seasoned defender Carlos Delgado. In a good position to take a shot himself, he squared the ball towards the centre for Jorge Pereyra Diaz to hammer past goalkeeper Amrinder Singh.
The lead did not last long however, as an error from Mumbai’s goalkeeper Phurba Lachenpa saw his attempted clearance roll tamely to Diego Mauricio. The Brazilian played an excellent side-footed curling effort from distance that caught Lachenpa’s fingertips before hitting the post and falling into goal.
