Mumbai City FC secured their second ISL title as they defeated Mohun Bagan SG 3-1 in the final played at the Salt Lake stadium on April 4, Saturday.

Goals from Jorge Diaz, Bipin Singh and Jakub Vojtus completed the turnaround for Mumbai, who would silence the crowd in Kolkata to clinch the title.

Mohun Bagan had taken the lead in the dying moments of the first half through Jason Cummings before Mumbai City FC turned the game on its head in the second 45 minutes. This forced Mohun Bagan to go on the offensive in the final moments of the game, which saw them concede late in the game as Vojtus made them pay.

How did the ISL final play out?
The first ten minutes saw both teams match each other stride for stride before Mohun Bagan had the first big chance in the 13th minute. However, Tiri came in to the rescue to intercept the ball to Petratos. Mumbai would respond immediately with a chance of their own with a cross from Jayesh Rane, but the Bagan defence cleared the chance.

The 29th minute saw Chhangte, who was through on goal but his shot went wide. The Mumbai star would then hit the crossbar two minutes later, and then in the 39th minute, he would do it again. Mohun Bagan would then break the deadlock in the 44th minute as Cummings put them ahead, as he capitalised on a rebound from the keeper.

The second half saw Mumbai City start on the front foot and 8 minutes after the restart, Diaz handed them the equaliser. Mumbai would keep pushing and in the 81st minute took the lead in the game for the very first time.

Jakub would set Bipin up for the goal and the Mumbai star made no mistake in converting his chance. Bagan woud try to equalise and decided to put numbers upfront. This would be the reason for their downfall as Vojtus scored in the 7th minute of second half stoppage to end the resistance.
