NAVI MUMBAI: The 2023-24 AFC Champions League season continues to be a harsh journey for Mumbai City. The Islanders were handed their latest painful lesson at DY Patil Sports Stadium here on Monday, going down 2-0 to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal, the competition's most decorated champions.
In a match which attracted 30,023 spectators, many of course, who had been hoping to feast their eyes on Neymar, Al Hilal's biggest signing in the summer transfer window, Mumbai City produced a gritty defensive display against the same team who had destroyed them 6-0 in Riyadh only two weeks ago.
