Mumbai City was at the receiving end of five yellow cards and committed 10 fouls as they held Chennaiyin to a goalless draw at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai on Sunday. Defender Souvik Chakrabarti also picked up a second yellow in injury time for a foul on Thoi Singh, forcing the visitors to see the game out with 10 men.
Both teams had plenty of chances to score but were wasteful in front of goal. In defence, Islanders' head coach Jorge Costa was forced to field an all-Indian backline following Mato Grgic's injury in their season opener against Kerala Blasters.
