Sensational Mumbai City FC
What a fantastic performance from Mumbai City FC. They had a two-goal lead in the first half and Kerala had a man down as well. Second half, Kerala started positively but were not threatening the backline of Mumbai. In the 70th minute, Rafael Bastos scored an absolute stunner from 25 yards to make things more worse for Kerala. In the dying minutes, the home side scored with Modou Sougou getting his fourth goal in the game and 5th of the night and the substitute Matias Mirabaje made it 6 for Mumbai FC. More or less the game was done and dusted after Kerala going a man down but Mumbai capitalized on it and scored 6 on the night. In the end, it was complete domination from the home side.

What a stunner from Rafael Bastos. Unstoppable. Arnold Issoko runs with the ball forward and Halicharan Narzary tackles him in the process. The referee allows the game to continue and the ball falls to Rafael Bastos who takes a stride and shoots it with right foot and the ball flies in top left hand corner.

Mumbai City FC on top here in Mumbai
What a half of football we have witnessed here in Mumbai. After a watchful 10 minutes, the game gathered pace and how! Modou Sougou opened the scoring in the 12th minute with his outstretched right leg after Paulo Machado whipped in a low cross from the left. Modou Sougou then doubled Mumbai's advantage 3 minutes later with a wonderful long-range shot, which Dheeraj Singh had no chance to save. Kerala Blasters FC tried to come back in this one and halved the deficit after Seiminlen Doungel found the back of the net. Modou Sougou completed his hat trick with a perfectly placed header to restore their 2 goal lead. Kerala Blasters FC started losing their calm and Zakeer Mundampara got his first yellow in the 35th minute. He got his marching orders in the added time after he tripped Rafael Bastos. He made matters worse for him after he threw the ball at the referee and will be seeing a lengthy ban for it. Kerala Blasters FC have a mountain to climb here if they are to draw this one. Join us on the other side of the break.

Final clash before the winter break
Hello, everyone, and welcome to match 59 of this edition's Indian Super League. 2nd placed Mumbai City FC take on Kerala Blasters FC. The Islanders are having a great season and find themselves 6 points behind table-toppers Bengaluru FC. Mumbai would want to go into the winter break stretching their 7-match unbeaten run to 8. Mumbai City FC's defense have been their backbone and they have kept 6 clean sheets in 11 games so far, the second-most this season. The Blasters, on the other hand, are having a horror season and have managed to win only one game so far. They are on a 10-match winless run and would want to end that. Scoring goals in the first half has been a major issue for Kerala Blasters FC. They have managed only 2 goals in the first 45 this season. If they are to have any outside chance to finish in the top 4 they must start winning games from tonight. This will be an interesting battle between 2 teams fighting for a different cause. Mumbai City FC would want to solidify their position in the top 4 whereas Kerala Blasters FC would want to win and keep their hopes of finishing in the top 4 alive. Let's see who comes out on top.
