The much-anticipated clash between Mumbai City FC and East Bengal FC ended in a goalless draw, with both teams battling relentlessly but failing to break the deadlock. Despite moments of brilliance from key players, the scoreboard remained unchanged at the final whistle.

East Bengal’s midfield duo of Vishnu and Mahesh were standout performers, controlling play and creating attacking opportunities. Celis led the press effectively, pushing high to disrupt Mumbai City’s buildup and win possession in dangerous areas.

Mumbai City, known for their attacking prowess, constantly tested East Bengal’s defence. A brilliant sequence of play from East Bengal led to a corner, offering a golden opportunity, but the breakthrough remained elusive.

Mumbai’s goalkeeper, Phurba Lachenpa, proved to be the hero of the night, pulling off two outstanding saves—first to deny Celis and then to keep out a close-range effort from Nandha. His performance ensured that Mumbai City walked away with a point.

While both teams showcased resilience and attacking intent, they ultimately lacked the finishing touch, leaving fans yearning for more in the next encounter.
