Mumbai City FC began their ISL campaign with a 2-1 win over North East United FC at Indira Gandhi Stadium on Sunday. A brace from star forward Jorge Preyra Diaz propelled the win. Parthib Gogoi did equalize for the Highlanders following the opener, he could not add another. Mumbai City FC has begun their retention in style. 

Mumbai City FC, which had a humiliating AFC Champions League loss to FC Nassaji Mazandaran last week, had dominance especially in the second session. North East United FC which was the semifinalist of the Durand Cup started with aggression. But they failed to maintain the consistency.
