ISL 2020 Mumbai City FC vs SC East Bengal Live Score and Commentary:

84′- Sehnaj goes into a tackle with Ogbeche which sees the striker go down in pain. The ball is put out of play.

83′- Triple change for Mumbai

Host of changes for MCFC as they are making a trio of changes. Mehtab Singh, Farukh Choudhary and Cy Goddard come on for Rowllin Borges, Bipin Singh Thounajam and Hugo Adnan Boumous.

78′- Another change for the designated away side as Abhishek Ambekar comes on for Surchandra Singh Chandan.

75′- Cooling break for second half ensues as players make a brief walk towards the sidelines.

74′- Mumbai City is coasting at the moment. Damage limitation will have to be the priority for East Bengal now.

70′- Le Fondre won’t get his hat-trick in this game. But fancy being able to bring on Bart Ogbeche after being 3-0 up. This is a statement performance from Mumbai City FC.

67′- Substitution for East Bengal

Change from SCEB as Jeje Lalpekhlua comes on for Balwant Singh. It was not Balwant’s night as he hardly troubled Amrinder Ranjit Singh.

66′- A great spell of possession for East Bengal again, but it is more disappointment in the final third. Rafique tries to cut in onto his left foot, and thrashes a left footed shot rashly wide

62′- Yellow card!

Mandar Rao carded by the referee. Five Mumbai players in the book now.

60′- MCFC substitution

Mumbai City have made their first change of the game, as Vignesh is taken off. Mandar will go back to left-back

58′- Goooal; Santana gets on the scoresheet

A sensational ball from Jahouh, with the outside of his right foot, over the top to find Boumous in the box, he cuts it back to Santana, and his side-foot finish is controlled, but has enough power to zoom past Debjit. Game, set and match, Mumbai City FC.

54′- Santana goes down clutching his back after jumping over Rafique. He landed hard. He is okay to continue.

53′- Yellow Card!
4th yellow card for MCFC tonight and Ahmed Jahouh is the latest entrant in the referee’s book.

48′- Gooooaal!

Le Fondre sends Debjit the wrong way and he puts MCFC 2-0 up. It’s looking like a big climb for East Bengal to get something from this game

47′- Penalty!
MCFC are off to a flier in the second half as they have a very early penalty and a chance to double their advantage.

46′-MCFC kicks off the second period. No changes for either side.

Half Time: Mumbai City FC 1-0 East Bengal

The referee blows the whistle to mark the end of the half. Mumbai City FC has looked a more dominating force throught out the half and Adam le Fondre’s goal is currently what separates both the teams.

Another exciting 45 minutes in the offing. Stay tuned as we return shortly

45’+2′- Brilliant skill from Jahouh inside his own box to make space for a MCFC counter-attack. Boumous’ through ball is cut off by Neville.

45′- Three extra minutes have been added on!

44′- Yellow Card!

Fall shown a yellow card after catching Maghoma with both his feet.

42′ East Bengal’s slow transition has allowed MCFC to get back and regroup. Some promising opening have been squandered due to some poor decision making.

39′ Jahouh runs into trouble looking to dribble inside his own box but the ball is stolen off him. Pilkington should have done better. A tame shot rolls along the floor which Amrinder gets down to gather.

37′- The freekick doesn’t trouble Amridner in goal, ball sails over the bar.

36′- Yellow Card!

Rash tackle from Rowllin Borges and he goes into the referee’s book. Borges loses the ball to Balwant and in retaliation he takes him down with a challenge from behind. The MCFC player gets into the book and also awards SCEB a free kick in a dangerous area.
34′- Balwant Singh gets the ball and he looks to play a through ball to set free Mohammed Rafique on the right. Balwant’s pass is a bit too heavy and Amrinder Ranjit Singh is quick to come out and collect it.

30′- Time for Cooling break!

27′- MCFC is looking dangerous on the break with East Bengal playing a high line. Irshad with a sliding tackle to get to the ball before Bipin on the right.

24′- Mumbai City on top!

Despite the goal being scored, it is MCFC who look more likelier to score another one. They are playing with a lot of pace here.

20′- Goooaaal!

A supreme counter attack from MCFC and they have broken the deadlock and taken the lead in this game.

Rowllin Borges’s massive clearance from the corner, which Boumous runs on to, and dribbles past Surchandra easily. He drags Debjit out to himself, and then squares it to Le Fondre who has an empty net to roll the ball into

19′- Excellent save
Driving run by Rafique and he unleashes a shot from distance, which requires a full-stretch save by Amrinder. That was going into the top right corner.

18′- Foul by Bipin on Naryan inside the EB box as he looks to run on to Boumous’ knockdown header.

15′- Jacques Maghoma gets the ball in the midfield. He outmuscles his defender and dribbles to the right. The SCEB player then tries his luck from outside but it is a very comfortable save on the right for Amrinder Ranjit Singh.

14′- Maghoma runs through the centre, skipping through challenges but his shot from outside the box is tame and Amrinder has it covered.

12′- Fall with a sliding interception to get to the low cross across face of the goal by Narayan from the left. Maghoma with a good pass to release Narayan there.

10′- Yellow Card!

Rakip gets the first card of the night after being booked by the referee for a rash tackle on Narayan Das.

8′- Chance for Pilkington!

He’s somehow been played through in behind the Mumbai City defence, he’s ambled towards goal thinking that he’s offside and has drilled his shot wide eventually.

6′- Big blow for SCEB; substitution made

Daniel Fox cannot continue and he has been replaced by Mohammed Rafique. This suggests there will be a change of formation from SCEB

2′- Injury scare for East Bengal
SCEB skipper, Daniel Fox is down on the turf and this is a worrying sign for the designated away side.

1′- Kickoff!

The referee blows the whistle and SCEB get us underway!
