In a high-stakes clash witnessed by a fervent crowd of 60,000 at Mohun Bagan’s iconic home ground, Mumbai City FC emerged triumphant in the ISL Cup. Despite Mohun Bagan’s status as the favoured team, Mumbai City FC showcased their dominance right from the outset. The match unfolded with Mumbai City FC’s relentless attacking prowess, led by Dimitri Petratos and Mourtada Fall, thwarting Mohun Bagan’s defensive efforts throughout the game.
