COACHES COMMENT BEFORE THE MATCH
CLIFFORD MIRANDA (MBSG): "It’s always important that we have all players available, so that we have a wide range of players to select from, to build our team in a better way, rather than getting restricted to certain players.”
JUAN PERDO BENALI (NEUFC): "It’s a good team, a very good team, and any player can make the difference. We don’t look at the money (that Mohun Bagan Super Giant has spent). In the end, it’s 11 vs 11. The money makes a difference in the long-term, not so much in short-term. Sometimes, just because you have spent a lot of money doesn’t mean that you will win. That’s why we have the example of Paris Saint-Germain. We are a fighting team. We know what to do, what not to do, and we will see them on the pitch,”

Guwahati: Mumbai City FC edged past NorthEast United FC by 2-1 at the Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium in Guwahati to commence their Indian Super League (ISL) 2023-24 campaign with all 3 points on Sunday. The home team’s Parthib Gogoi’s goal in the 32nd minute was sandwiched between twin strikes by Argentine striker Jorge Pereyra Diaz in the 26th and the 38th minute to hand the Islanders a hard-fought three points from the contest.
Des Buckingham’s men seemed to have picked up from where they had left it last season, with their frontline functioning in tandem straight from kick-off. Bipin Singh dropped down in the middle to receive a pass from midfielder Lalengmawia Ralte to initiate the move for the first strike of the night. The winger played an incisive through ball for Lallianzuala Chhangte inside the box, who squared off a pass that was tapped in by Diaz to round off a neat offensive endeavour by the visitors.
NorthEast responded strongly as they gradually began pressing higher up in the quest of the equaliser. Asheer Akhtar swiftly cleared a ball from the backline that was received by Gogoi on the inside of the left flank a few yards away from the box. The winger demonstrated some fine footwork to cut in and shot from the long range in an effort that took Mumbai’s goalkeeper Mohammad Nawaz aback. The custodian dived on his left but couldn’t get his hand behind the ball amidst a joyous eruption from the home crowd.
Mumbai appeared to be eager to regain the lead and the duo of Chhangte and Diaz were at the centre of the move that helped them to do so. Six minutes later, Dutch midfielder Yoell van Nieff played a simple pass to the Indian attacker that he used to lob in a cross to Mehtab Singh on the far post. The defender headed the ball in Diaz’s path as the forward demonstrated his razor sharp instincts in extending his leg forward and managing to get the ball into the back of the net.
The Islanders embraced a more cautious approach to hold on to their lead as the game progressed. Mohammed Ali Bemammer kicked off an attacking move for NorthEast that resulted in Manvir Singh leaping high in an attempt to head the ball into the Mumbai net. However, Nawaz showed greater assurance this time to collect it calmly and steer his side to an emphatic victory from this fiercely competitive away fixture.
