Mumbai suffer Shield setback

Mumbai City FC suffered a 0-2 defeat against Jamshedpur FC, making it difficult for themselves to secure a top of the table finish in Hero Indian Super League here on Saturday.

Goals from substitutes Boris Singh (72') and David Grande (90') helped JFC inflict a second-straight defeat upon the Islanders, who are undergoing their worst phase in the league so far.

This result meant a win for ATK Mohun Bagan against Hyderabad FC on Monday would ensure them of the League Winners Shield and a maiden AFC Champions League spot.

It was a rather ordinary first 45 minutes with very little action throughout. Jamshedpur were the dominant side nullifying Mumbai's usual free-flowing football.

Owen Coyle's men played a high-pressing game thus disrupting Mumbai City's moves.
