They got another chance in the 10th minute when when Arata Izumi headed a Jonatan Lucca cross toward the goal. The header was not powerful enough as he was only successful in passing the ball toward Roberta Volpato.

Matias Defederico made the game interesting with his outstanding skill, stealing the ball off Rahul Bheke and taking it past two Pune City defenders near the opposition goal line, before Ferreira charged in with a tackle.

Mumbai City FC got its first chance just before half time when Diego Forlan took the ball into the box and found Krisztian Vadcoz with no one on his tail, thus having enough time to score.

However Gouramangi Singh blocked the pass for the Hungarian who was stunned at this sudden defence.

In the 69th minute, Mumbai scored the first goal when Matias Defederico’s low strike found the warmth of the net. The goal was enough to break Pune mentally, as they showed great skills throughout the match.
