Former Indian Super League (ISL) champion Mumbai City FC (MCFC) held the 2021 runner-up ATK Mohun Bagan (ATK MB) to a 1-1 draw in a Group B league match of the 131st Durand Cup, at Salt Lake Stadium, here on Wednesday.
ATK MB went into the lead in the first half off a nice effort from Liston Colaco before MCFC substitute Pereyra Diaz nodded home the equaliser late in the second half.
The result dealt a blow to ATK MB’s chances of making it to the quarterfinals as the 16-time champion, which lost its opener to Rajasthan United, has tallied just one point after two outings so far. MCFC is on top with four points from two matches.
