Event Highlights

ISL 2020-21, Highlights, NorthEast United FC vs Mumbai City FC: NorthEast United FC stun 10-man Mumbai City FC 1-0. Kwesi Appiah scored the only goal of the match from the penalty spot after Rowlin Borges handed the ball inside the box. An important three points for Gerard Nus' young side. Mumbai were brought down to 10-man after Ahmed Jahouh was given marching orders at the wee end of the first half.

Mumbai City FC are a revamped side with 19 new recruits and a Spanish coach of repute and have never won the ISL trophy. Mumbai City would be hoping that there is a turnaround in fortunes under new coach Sergio Lobera, who had guided FC Goa to the inaugural ISL League Shield winners last season. The only time NEUFC finished in the top half of the table was in 2018-19 season when they made it to the semi-finals.

Lobera during the pre-season media meet had advocated attacking brand of football but said the team needed to strike a balance between attack and defence. Mumbai have two good strikers in Bartholomew Ogbeche and Adam Le Fondre who can prove to be more than handful for any opposition. The team has roped in utility midfielders like Ahmed Jahouh, England-born Japanese Cy Goddard and their roles as feeders will be important in the larger context of the game.

Lobera has multiple options in Farukh Choudhary, Hugo Boumous, Hernan Santana, Raynier Fernandes, Rowllin Borges and Pranjal Bhumij among others. The inclusion of Mandar Rao Dessai has bolstered the team's defence and he coupled with the likes of Sarthak Golui, Senegalese Mourtada Fall and Mohamad Rakip are ready thwart any attacking line-up.

On the other hand, NorthEast United FC under new coach Gerard Nus, would also be aiming for redemption after a poor last season. 'The Highlanders' will expect their foreign players to pull their weight with much depending on former Anderlecht and Queens Park Rangers striker Idrissa Sylla and former Ghanaian international Kwesi Appaiah.

NEUFC will have in mind their perennial weakness in front of goal: the Highlanders have scored only 95 goals in 98 matches so far in ISL history. However, to bring about a big change in attitude, midfielder Federico Gallego will have to lead the way. The Uruguayan will look to replicate his form from the 2018-19 season when the Highlanders made it to the playoffs.
