Mumbai, India – Decked in shades of blue with fan jerseys, hoardings and banners, the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai hosted the biggest football match on Indian soil as Mumbai City welcomed Asia’s most successful club Al Hilal in the AFC Champions League.
In front of a noisy audience of about 30,000 on Monday, Mumbai City put on a solid defensive performance in the first half but second-half goals by Al Hilal’s Aleksandar Mitrovic and Michael meant the Indian Super League (ISL) team had to end their night on a losing note.
