Playmaker connor shields

Mumbai City FC: Chennaiyin FC fell to a 4-0 defeat against Mumbai City FC in a Round-of-16 clash of the Kalinga Super Cup 2025 here on Wednesday. The Marina Machans battled hard across both halves but conceded late goals against the run of play to see out a reverse at the Kalinga Stadium.

Head coach Owen Coyle named an attacking side for the clash. Playmaker Connor Shields partnered with Jiteshwor Singh in the middle of the park, flanked on either side by Irfan Yadwad and Lukas Brambilla. Up front, Wilmar Jordan Gil and Daniel Chima Chukwu lined up in a two-man attack. A frenetic start saw Elsinho lunge in for an important interception seconds after kick-off before the referee waved off strong appeals by the Marina Machans for a handball inside the opposition box.

Looking to add to his eight goals across all editions in the competition, Jordan Gil was the next to try his luck, six minutes in, only to fire straight at the goalkeeper.
