Mumbai City FC found the net thrice in the second half to first erase a goal’s deficit and then overwhelm the home favourite Mohun Bagan Super Giant 3-1 in the final to regain the Indian Super League crown, at the Salt Lake Stadium here on Saturday.
Mohun Bagan enjoyed the lead in the first half when Jason Cummings found the target just before the break. Argentine forward Pereyra Diaz fetched the equaliser right after the interval before substitutes Bipin Singh and Jakub Vojtus struck once each to complete the triumph for Mumbai City, which last won the cup in 2020-21 beating the same opposition in Goa.
Mohun Bagan opened the scoring, much against the run of play, as a tired Mumbai City seemed to falter in its defensive organization towards the fag end of the first half.
