MUMBAI: Mumbai City vs Mohun Bagan Super Giant ISL clash is fast becoming a classic contest. On Wednesday, there was drama thrown in too as the Islanders prevailed 2-1, handing Bagan their first loss in the league, in a match where the number of cards ultimately dominated the narrative. A total of nine yellow cards and seven red cards were flashed.
The hosts were reduced to 10 men in the 13th minute when full back Akash Mishra earned a red card for a reckless challenge. At that point, Petr Kratky's side would have settled for even a point, but there was a major twist to come in the second half when Bagan went down to nine men by the 57th minute after red cards awarded to Asish Rai and Liston Colaco.
