A 10-man Mohun Bagan SG team weathered a late resurgence from Mumbai City FC to win 2-1 in the final league fixture of ISL-10 and claim its maiden League Winner’s Shield.
Liston Colaco fetched the lead in the opening half before substitute Jason Cummings found the insurance goal late in the second half. Lallianzuala Chhangte pulled one back in the 89th minute but Bagan tightened their defence to prevent any further alteration to scoreline despite substitute defender Brendan Hamill getting a red card in the 90+1 minute.
Needing a win to take the shield, Bagan’s efforts to find the chink in Mumbai’s defence bore fruit in the 28th minute, thanks to a spectacular finish by Colaco.
