ISL 2019-20: Kerala Blasters lacked a creative spark in midfield against Mumbai City

Kerala Blasters have not had it easy in the final third of the field...

The last time Kerala Blasters faced Mumbai City, the result turned out to be catastrophic for the Yellow Army. They were beaten 6-1, with Modou Sougou scoring a poker in the fixture in Mumbai last season. The then-head coach David James was sacked a few weeks later.

Thursday's Indian Super League (ISL) fixture between the two teams was nothing like it. The centre-back partnership of Jairo Rodrigues and Gianni Zuiverloon stood tall against Mumbai City's attack for most of the game.
