ISL: MUMBAI CITY BEAT EAST BENGAL

VASCO: Mumbai City FC overcame a tough challenge from SC East Bengal to sneak in a 1-0 win in the Indian Super League at the Tilak Maidan Stadium here on Friday. With this win, Mumbai City stretched their unbeaten run to 11 games.

It was a match of contrasting halves. Mumbai spurned a number of chances in the first 45 minutes but managed to take the lead through Mourtada Fall (27th). A rejuvenated East bengal pulled out all stops in their search for an equaliser in the second half, but frustratingly could not manage one.

Mumbai had a chance early when Adam Le Fondre found himself in a position to shoot after receiving the ball from Cy Goddard but his attempt went wide. They had another chance but a cross from Le Fondre was unmarked inside the box.
