In Indian Super League ISL football tournament, hosts Mumbai City FC defeated table toppers FC Goa 2-nil yesterday. Goals in either half from Sunil Chhetri and Frederic Piquionne were enough to see hosts Mumbai record their second successive win and move up to sixth spot in the eight-team league table with seven points from five matches. FC Goa were considerably weakened due to injury to several players but they started well and got few chances in the beginning. But Mumbai rode the initial storm and started playing confidently. It opened its score in 33rd minute when Chhetri successfully converted a penalty kick into a goal. Mumbai doubled their lead immediately after resumption of play in the second session. In the 48th minute, Sony Norde smartly passed the ball from a free-kick to Juan Aguilera whose cross towards the goal was buried into the net by a diving Piquionne.
