Brave FC Goa went toe-to-toe against mighty Mumbai City

A brave FC Goa matched Mumbai City's might in an exciting four-goal thriller which ended as a draw on Friday.

In the first leg of the 2020-21 Indian Super League (ISL) semi-final. Mumbai City started on the backfoot as Mohammed Rakip's injury and Amey Ranawade's suspension meant Sergio Lobera chose to play Mandar Rao Dessai at right-back. And it was the first move that went wrong for the league stage winners.

Jorge Ortiz tormented Mumbai City's right flank at will and Mandar struggled to contain the winger. The full-back did not get off to a good start as his poor pass in the 17th minute put left-back Vignesh Dakshinamurthy chasing Alexander Jesuraj into the box.
