ISL 2024-25: Mumbai City Hand NEUFC First Defeat After Eight Games
Mumbai City FC: Mumbai City FC defeated NorthEast United FC by 2-0 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in the Indian Super League (ISL) 2024-25. The Islanders handed the Highlanders their first defeat after a run of eight winless games to jump to the fourth spot with 31 points.
NorthEast United FC made the first critical move in the final third, as it was the duo of Macarton Nickson and Alaaeddine Ajaraie who joined hands from the left side of the field. Nickson picked up the ball from a hasty clearance by the Mumbai City FC backline and launched in a cross for Alaaeddine Ajaraie at the centre. Ajaraie's header flew over the post, depriving the Highlanders of a fine chance to get a lead in the eighth minute.
Ajaraie came back to spell trouble for the Mumbai City FC defence five minutes later. Michel Zabaco spotted the forward at a formidable position right at the edge of the box and the Moroccan launched an immediate shot that missed the target to the left.
